Abstract: Piece of pottery had not been found previously from the sediments of 10000 years old in China and abroad．During a research of the Quaternary stratigraphy in Qingyang district, Gansu Province, some pieces of pottery have been discovered from the upper silty clay layer and basal gravel bed of the Salawusu Formation．In the some horizon, many mammalian fossils and human cultural remains, such as the palaeoliths, ashes and charcoal bits, have also been found．Among the mammalian fossils are such taxa as Palaeolarodon naumanni, Coelodonta antiquitatis, Eqnns prsewalskyi, Crocuta ultima, Megaloceros ordosianus, Spirocerus kiakhtensis, Ovis ammon, Bos primigenius etc., which are typical for the Late Pleistocene．14 C dating for the calcareous nodule of the upper part of Salawusu Formation at Shilipodi of Jiaozichuan in Qingyang suggests a age about 25 290±500aB.P.,which is consistent with the geological age indicated by the mammalian fossils．Therefore, the age of these Pieces of pottery discovered in the Salawusu Formation should also be the Late Pleistocene．The new discovery suggests that the history of human pottery-making could be further traced back from about 10 000 years ago to about 30 000 years ago．
