Bengal, between 22° and 27° lat. and 84° and 93° long., its lowest course lying within Bangladesh where it meets the Bay of Bengal. It cuts through the recent \*khadar\* alluvium which finally grades into the most recent delta silt. A large part of its valley was inhabited by the Neolithic people, as is evident from the occurrence of their cultural material at a number of sites, though in most cases the chrono-cultural periodization has been made on the basis of techno-typological traits of the artefactual assemblage. - [Previous: v1.c9.s6.t2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t2.10) - [Next: v1.c9.s6.t2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t2.12) - [Up: v1.c9.s6.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t2.11) · Pramāṇa
