From Central India, particularly the Narbada basin, we have evidence to confirm this hypothesis. De Terra and Teilhard studied the stretch of Narbada near Narsinghpur. There in the third period of aggradation (minor)¹ indicated by the basal sands or the gravel of the "Black soil group", we have similar evidence. "In the basal gravel and sands in the lower few feet, was found a flake industry characterized by the absence of hand axes or large cores and by the dominance of small blades and scrapers. These tools are made of flint or jasper, clearly indicative of a total change both in technique and in choice of materials".
