Stratigraphic evidence from the excavations at MAHADEO-PIPARIA and CHIRKI-NEVASA in the c. NARMADA and the PRAVARA valleys respectively and a few ¹⁴C dates on shells and drift woods from the 'Older Alluvium' deposits of Maharashtra and Gujarat suggest that the Indian Middle Palaeolithic cultures flourished in the subcontinent between 40000 and 15000 B.P. [cf. 4.3].
