In 1968, an archaeologist team led by Professor Song Wenxun from the Department of Anthropology and Professor Lin Chaoqi from the Department of Geology of National Taiwan University discovered Taiwan’s first Paleolithic culture in Baxian Cave, Changbin Township, Taitung County. The famous archaeologist Dr. Li Ji named this culture "Changbin Culture" after the place.
The remains of Changbin culture unearthed in Baxian Cave are mainly gravel tools made by the method of pounding and stripping, as well as many bone tools, and bones of animals and fish. Based on carbon-14 dating, their era is determined to have begun 30,000 years ago, and ended about 5,000 years ago.
