Researchers of a room for research into history of human evolution and development deepened the survey of the basin of the River Taedong centering around Pyongyang in recent years. As a result, they discovered various relics and fossil remains dating back to the Paleolithic Age including seven pieces of five anthropolites, 2,038 pieces of stoneware, 10,772 pieces of fossil animal bones of 33 kinds, 13 bonfire sites in Chongphadae Cave in the township of Hwangju County. The discovery helped tell how old the sedimentary layer of the cave is with the help of modern measuring devices and scientifically ascertain the age of the above-said site.

Put on display there are the recently unearthed relics and fossil remains.

Two fossil upper jawbones and three fossil lower jawbones believed to be those of Neolithic men who existed approximately from 60,000 to 20,000 years ago prove that the basin of the River Taedong centering around Pyongyang was home to the ancestors of the Korean nation.

Stoneware found on two cultural layers which are different from each other in the method of construction and arrangement clearly testifies to the process of the orderly law-governed development of the culture in the Paleolithic Age in the basin of the River Taedong.

More than 70 hand axes provide irrefutable material evidence once again refuting the wrong preceding archaeological view that only chopper culture existed in the Asian region in the Paleolithic Age.

Also on display are 33 kinds of fossil animals and 1,572 sporae-pollen fossils proving that the area around the cave had conditions favorable for living such as animal hunting and collection of edible plants.
