Braidwood) dissenting, recommended the terms already proposed by Subbarao—Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages—for the food-gathering stages, retaining the term Neolithic for the food-producing stage. This classification was followed for over 10 years, but in published reports the term ‘microlithic’ (perhaps not always Mesolithic) was extensively used. - [Previous: v1.c9.s1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s1.10) - [Next: v1.c9.s1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s1.12) - [Up: v1.c9.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s1.11) · Pramāṇa
