The tools are mostly without any prepared striking platform \[16.15.2\], the secondary retouch not being prominent, produced by mainly Levalloisian or pseudo-Levalloisian technique \[16.15.1\]. As these features are characteristic of the pre-Neolithic industry it appears that they are the survival of an autochthonous flake-tool complex prevalent in the upper Kaveri valley. - [Previous: v2.c35.214](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.214) - [Next: v2.c35.216](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.216) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.215](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.215) · Pramāṇa
