Late Pleistocene Stone Age industries are represented by varieties of scrapers (hollow, side, concave, convex, etc.), borers, points on cherts and chalcedony and by flake-blades, blades, etc., on chalcedony. Typologically these industries can be classed as Middle and Upper Palaeolithic [4.3, 4] traditions. At INAMGAON a stratified microlithic industry [4.5] of about 12000 years B.P. has been recently unearthed and it represents one of the earliest microlithic industries so far discovered in the Indian subcontinent.
