Investigations in s. Rajasthan by Misra, 1967; have shown that the basins of the Berach-Wagan and Gambhiri-Kadmali were inhabited by the Early Palaeolithic man. The sporadic discoveries from the Berach-Wagan basin mainly belong to the Acheulian tradition, but a part of the finished tool group also consists of choppers, chopping tools and thick scrapers made on flakes. The sites of the Gambhiri-Kadmali group are also characterized by Acheulian tradition. For example, the representative site CHITTAURGARH, has neatly made handaxes and cleavers along with Levallois flakes and tortoise cores. Typologically there is a striking homogeneity among the industries of the Berach-Wagan and Gambhiri-Kadamali.
