Prehistory and Protohistory in India and Pakistan c6.s9: Kerala

c6.s9.1

Turning to the west coast, Kerala and Malabar have so far not yielded any palaeoliths, probably because no search has been made. But it is likely that here there are ancient sea beaches, as there are further up near Bombay, which on examination might be found to be implementiferous. Or it may be that the coastal belt is of recent growth. Thus the reasons for the absence of palaeoliths might be truly geographical.
