The Beixin culture (5300–4100 BC[1]) was a Neolithic culture in Shandong, China. It was the successor of the Houli culture (6500–5500 BC) and precursor of the Dawenkou culture (4100–2600 BC).[2] The Beixin culture contains the first example of dental ablation in China, a practice that became common in the Dawenkou.[3]
