TL;DR: The findings at Majuangou indicate that the oldest known human presence in northeast Asia at 40° N is only slightly younger than that in western Asia, and implies that a long yet rapid migration from Africa, possibly initiated during a phase of warm climate, enabled early human populations to inhabit northern latitudes of east Asia over a prolonged period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out integrated rock magnetic experiments to interpret the χ−T curves of the Chinese loess/palaeosols in argon, and they used both raw materials and heated samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review focusing on recent developments in loess magnetism is presented, and the merits and limitations of rock magnetic proxies are carefully evaluated and several currently unsolved problems are addressed.

TL;DR: Detailed magnetostratigraphic results on two exposed parallel sections of lacustrine sediments at Xiaochangliang in the Nihewan Basin, north China place stringent controls on the age of Palaeolithic stone artifacts that were originally reported over two decades ago.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a partial heating/cooling method (Van Velzen and Dekkers, 1999) for the analysis of representative samples of the Holocene loess of the Chinese loess plateau, in order to investigate magnetic mineralogical changes during thermal treatment.
