There would thus be a succession of wet and dry climatic phases. The Stone Age culture associated with the respective deposits \[4.2\] would then seem to have flourished in such environments. It should however be remembered that these so-called wet and dry phases do not denote very high and very low rainfall periods (respectively pluvials and interpluvials) as understood in the African context. Only the basal laterite perhaps denotes pluvial conditions. - [Previous: v1.c14.s8.t2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.10) - [Next: v1.c14.s8.t2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.12) - [Up: v1.c14.s8.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.11) · Pramāṇa
