Yeoncheon Jeongok-ri Prehistoric Site is a major Paleolithic archaeological site in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do, where the discovery of Acheulean-style hand-axes in the 1970s overturned the long-held "Movius Line" theory that distinguished East Asia from Africa-Europe-Western Asia in early human technological development. The site preserves the original Paleolithic excavation area, with the broader Jeongok Prehistoric Museum displaying the discovered hand-axes and providing interpretive context on the site's global significance for understanding early human migration and technological development. The museum also includes broader Paleolithic archaeology displays. The site is one of Korea's most globally significant archaeological destinations and a major reference point for global prehistoric archaeology. Best for travelers interested in archaeology and human prehistory.
