In the Swat valley in Pakistan which falls in the same physiographic zone, three glaciations have been traced originating at altitudes of 3660 m or more and terminating at altitudes as low as 1770 m. Later work in the LIDDAR valley (Sankalia, 1974) has established the lowest glacial limit at 2140 m during the Quaternary, its remnants being preserved in the form of glaciofluvial deposits at PAHLGAM (Pahlgam formations). Lower Palaeolithic tools are found in association with this deposit \[4.2\]. - [Previous: v1.c14.s8.t2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.3) - [Next: v1.c14.s8.t2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.5) - [Up: v1.c14.s8.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2) ## Linked texts (1) - [Pahalgam](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.pahalgam) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t2.4) · Pramāṇa
