Following the discovery of Lower Palaeolithic \[4.2\] as well as Mesolithic \[4.5\] implements on the hill the site was explored from time to time by several scholars and a large number of Palaeolithic tools were obtained from the surface or from the pockets exposed in the stone quarries on the hill. With a view to investigating the Palaeolithic and Microlithic potential of the site and to tracing evidence for dating the rock paintings the author conducted a systematic excavation in 1961 on this hill both in the rock shelters as well as on the open ground in front of them on behalf of the ASI. - [Previous: v2.c28.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.18) - [Next: v2.c28.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.20) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28) ## Linked texts (1) - [Adamgarh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.adamgarh) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.19) · Pramāṇa
