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. - [Previous: v2.c40.261](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.261) - [Next: v2.c40.263](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.263) - [Up: v2.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40) ## Cites (2) - [Bhīmbeṭkā](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bhimbetka) - [Adamgarh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.adamgarh) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.262](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.262) · Pramāṇa
