It is noteworthy that the Late Soan seems normally to be devoid of handaxes. This statement, however, needs modification if in fact the Soan site of Chauntra (20 miles south of Rawalpindi), which has produced a mixture of Madras and Soan pebble elements, is of the succeeding third interglacial age from Terrace 3. More evidence is required. From Terraces 4 and 5 no significant material has been recorded; in any event Terrace 5 is of post-Pleistocene age.
