Early India and Pakistan to Ashoka c6.s1.24

c6.s1.24

INDIAN STONE AGE TOOLS have been provisionally classified in three broad categories, chronological as well as typological: Series I and II representing the Lower and Upper Palaeolithic, and Series III marked by microlithic industries. In spite of its crude simplicity, this basic classification is useful in the present stage of research. Series II still lacks definition, but I and III, however interpreted, are readily recognizable brackets. This chapter is concerned mainly with Series I.
