We have identified a relatively high degree of consistence in both material composition and morphological characteristics within individual production zones. In contrast, marked dissimilarities emerge among the three zones, strongly suggesting the presence of discrete production groups operating at the site.

While the <em>Book of Wei: Western Regions</em> provides textual evidence of the introduction of glassmaking technology, modern instrumental analysis is required to understand the components and craftsmanship of Pingcheng-period glassware. In this study, three typical glassware from the Northern Wei period in Datong area were analyzed using a 3D digital microscope with an extended depth of field and a scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS). This non-destructive, micro-level analysis focused on the glass’ chemical composition and microscopic morphology.

The findings indicate that these glassware belonged to a high Mg, plant ash-based Na<sub>2</sub>O-CaO-SiO<sub>2</sub> glass system, the average content of MgO is 7.2%, and high magnesium sodium calcium glass is relatively rare in the world’s ancient glass lineage. The glassware’ shape, micro shape, and high Mg concentration suggest local production using indigenous materials, likely influenced by Roman glassblowing techniques.

To understand the significance of discoidal core in technological and behavioral evolution in the Chinese Middle Paleolithic, we conduct a series of experiments, examining the flaking strategies of unifacial and bifacial discoidal cores in terms of raw material selection, core structure, and flake morphology characteristics. The result shows that knapping discoidal cores, particularly bifacial discoidal cores require a certain degree of preparing thought and planning behavior, and the reduction produces flakes under the concept of cyclical flaking and results in standardized cores.
