Sites like RAMANA-KI-TANDI, DHOLAKIA, LALBEDIA, PEMA RAGHUNATHPUR, BHIKHAMPUR, BAIRADUMUHAWAN, KAKORIA, KUNDA HIMAIYA, BHAINSAHAWA and HETIMPUR yielded cores, flakes and finished tools consisting of parallel-sided blades, blunted backs, points, etc., fashioned primarily on chalcedony. The preponderance of the blade element, the employment of the crested-ridge technique [16.15.2] and the selection of chalcedony as raw material give an individuality to the tools.
