Chimei Lithic Workshops

The Chimei lithic workshops were workshops for making stone tools in the mid-Neolithic period scattered around Chimei Island in Penghu County [1]. These workshops are located at Nankang Village, Tunghu Village, and Hsihu Village in Chimei Township, Penghu County, and they can be dated back to 3,800 to 4,500 years ago [1]. Aside from the large amounts of lithics in the workshops, no other cultural remains or complete lithics have been found, reflecting their functions as sites for stone mining and preparation works for lithic manufacturing [1].
