It has been noticed that in the upper stretch of the Mayurakshi and Bakreswar there is a decrease of Chalcolithic settlements, but there is a general increase in the c. and s. parts of Dt Birbhum. The surveyed area can be divided into three major zones: (1) Mayurakshi-Bakreswar-Sal; (2) Sal-Kopai-Ajay; and (3) Ajay-Kunnur-Damodar-Khari. - [Previous: v1.c9.s14.t1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.11) - [Next: v1.c9.s14.t1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.13) - [Up: v1.c9.s14.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.12) · Pramāṇa
