Prehistory and Protohistory in India and Pakistan c4.s24.3

c4.s24.3

This concept vitiated the principle of regional and geographical differences, which was then discovered by students of human geography and cultural anthropologists. It has now been realized that not only one has to provide for varying human needs and development on broad regional bases, but the same locality—for instance a site in South of France²² or in England²³—may exhibit different cultural relics according to the seasonal climatic changes²¹ and one may even talk of "summer and winter archaeology". Thus the former (new) theories about separate but parallel existence of Flake Cultures and Core Cultures are under scrutiny and it is quite possible that this view will be soon abandoned.
