c6.s2.2
Towards the middle of the Pleistocene occurred the second of the four Himalayan glaciations, and the Boulder Conglomerate which represents it* has yielded the earliest tools of Stone Age India on sites in the sub-Himalayan valleys of the Indus and its tributary the Soan (or Sohan), in the so-called Potwar Area centred about Rawalpindi.¹ With the tools have been found bones of *Elephas namadicus*, which help incidentally to link these deposits with others on the Narbadā and Godāvarī of central India.
