It is however true and cannot be too much emphasized that all microliths, wherever found, do not suggest or stand for a mesolithic stage of culture. Microliths have been found in India from the last century and the distribution will show that there is no corner of India where they have not been found.⁴ But it does not mean as some people think that the Fergusson College Hill or the Pandharpur region was the home of the mesolithic culture, because some microliths have been found at these places. It is the context, the stratigraphy, that is the most important criterion for judging whether a microlith belongs to the mesolithic stage or not.
