The presence of Upper Palaeolithic [4.4] tools—scrapers, flakes and blades—in the same geological formation which yielded the fauna suggests that the biotic factors might have played an important part in attracting the Palaeolithic man to this area. Further studies and systematic excavations in the Ghod, if primary Palaeolithic sites are discovered, may reveal more precise information on the role of man in exploiting the available faunal resources of the valley during the Upper Pleistocene.
