Thus the stratigraphy on this part of the Narmada and its tributaries conforms very well with our observations at Maheshwar. If somewhere, for instance near the Girls' Training College at Hoshangabad, or at Mahadev Piparia, the earliest coarse or pebble gravel is isolated and if this yields on a careful digging early Abbevillian types of handaxes, and high-angled flakes and the second pebble gravel these as well as Acheulian handaxes and cleavers, then we may propose the following stratigraphical and tool sequence on the Narmada.
