Langhnaj is not a solitary site, an oasis, but one of the hundreds (SUBBARAO lists over 80) in the sandy undulating alluvial plains of Northern and Central Gujarat.⁷² The topography is certainly different from what one sees in Kurnool, in the heart of the old land mass. Here are miles and miles of flat, sandy stretches where suddenly one finds two or three small hillocks of the same material enclose an inundation lake, which keeps water for almost ten months in a year. The tops and slopes of these small hillocks which were lightly wooded are strewn with microliths. These, as well as the river banks, were the resorts of the microlithic people.
