The stratigraphy shows the sandstone bed-rock followed by a thin layer of pellety laterite, which is overlain by a round pebbly gravel bearing Lower Palaeolithic \[4.2\] tools. This gravel is capped by a thin layer of red sandy clay and finally on top of it is humus. At Level 2, 1·2 m thick, the stratigraphy is more or less the same, excepting that the tool-bearing gravel here is 50 cm thick with small and large flakes of sandstone; the tools are larger in number and bear definite Abbevillian and Acheulian characteristics. - [Previous: v2.c34.489](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.489) - [Next: v2.c34.491](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.491) - [Up: v2.c34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.490](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.490) · Pramāṇa
