Noteworthy discoveries in this regard come from the Jethian valley near Rajgir (Narain, 1969) and BHIMBANDH near Monghyr (\*IAR 1960-1\*, pp. 5-6; \*1965-6\*, pp. 7-8). Similarly in the hilly regions of Dts Bankura and Purulia Acheulian tools occur. An evolved Acheulian industry comes from SUSUNIA in Dt Midnapur (\*IAR 1965-6\*, pp. 56-7). - [Previous: v1.c9.s2.t3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t3.1) - [Next: v1.c9.s2.t3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t3.3) - [Up: v1.c9.s2.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t3) ## Linked texts (2) - [Bhimbandh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bhimbandh) - [Susunia](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.susunia) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s2.t3.2) · Pramāṇa
