Excavations in the rock-shelters at ADAMGARH, 2 km from Hoshangabad, and BHIMBETKA, 40 km on the n. bank of the river, in the basin have brought out a succession of cultures: Lower Palaeolithic (Acheulian), Middle Palaeolithic, Upper Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Chalcolithic [4.14.5]. Compared to the river cliff-sections these sheltered sites are better preserved localities as far as cultural evidence is concerned. They however lack supporting sedimentological or palaeontological and radiometric data.
