v2.c28.22

In some trenches the debris containing Lower Palaeolithic tools is overlain by layers of rock fragments containing tools of smaller dimensions. Thus chronologically the industry belongs to the early post-Acheulian stage. The tools are generally made on quartzite and rarely on chert, chalcedony or vein quartz. It is an assemblage of scrapers, points and flake-blades typologically comparable with other Indian Middle Palaeolithic [4.3] artefacts.
