In Rajasthan studies supported by absolute datings of three salt lakes—Sambhar, Didwana and Lunkaransar—in w. Rajasthan, and of one freshwater lake, Pushkar, in the Aravalli hills have brought out important changes in the environmental history of Rajasthan in relation to the development of human cultures in n.-w. India over the last 10000 years. The palaeo-environmental sequence is divided into five phases corresponding to five pollen zones as revised in Singh *et al.*, 1974.
