KALLUPATTI, about 12 km s.-w. of Tirumangalam in Dt Madurai, has also yielded in recent years a Neolithic habitation with ashy layers characterizing the deposit, now under fast depredation by the local people for manure. The tools here are made of basalt and are of large-to-small size, in good finish. A characteristic of the celts of Salem is that they are better ground and polished than even the Deccan neoliths \[4.6.7-9\], especially considering their fabrication on the coarse and hard rock-types. - [Previous: v1.c9.s6.t6.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6.18) - [Next: v1.c9.s6.t6.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6.20) - [Up: v1.c9.s6.t6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6) ## Cites (1) - [T.
