Are any archeological remains found from the Yellow Sea, China
score:5
My understanding is that Bohai Bay used to be an inland lake which drained into the Yellow Sea. The southern border of the lake was formed by the Liaodong and Shandong peninsulas, which were once joined.
Remains of Pleistocene mammoth and woolly rhinoceros have been found in the bay, but, as far as I am aware, no human artefacts comparable with those found in "Doggerland" under the modern North Sea have yet been recovered.
As you say, a number of Neolithic cultures have been identified from sites around Bohai Bay, and there have been suggestions that there is evidence for "economic contact" between at least some of these groups (mentioned in the book linked above).
It makes sense that an area with readily available sources of food and water would have been attractive for human habitation at the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age. However, I've searched through the last 30 years of the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, and I can't find any reports of significant evidence for human habitation from underwater archaeology in the region. (For comparison, I found more than 50 articles about remains from "Doggerland" while searching)

The Yellow Sea flood plain has very rich soil with a climate very suitable for human habitation. I suspect that it was one of the major population centers during the last Ice Age. It would have been subject to a rapid and catastrophic flood when the ice dams broke raising the Sea level. Some very high volume rivers carry large amounts of silt into the Yellow Sea. Archeological evidence, if it exists, would probably be buried deep.
