The first group comprises the industries in which pebble tools and big crude flakes dominate. In the industries of the second group Acheulian implements have a prepondering position. MAHADEO-PIPARIA represents the first group, where the chopper-chopping element is about 20 per cent more than the handaxe-cleaver element; whereas in the Acheulian group, mainly at ADAMGARH, along with the frequent types of handaxes and cleavers, Levallois flakes also account for a good portion of the industry. Both the groups are worked on quartzite pebbles. - [Previous: v1.c9.s2.t1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t1.9) - [Next: v1.c9.s2.t1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t1.11) - [Up: v1.c9.s2.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t1) ## Cites (2) - [Mahadeo-Piparia](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.mahadeo-piparia) - [Adamgarh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.adamgarh) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t1.10) · Pramāṇa
