v2.c45.263

A considerable number of microliths of geometric tradition have been recovered both from the burials and also from the habitation floor. The source of raw material for the lithic tool-kit is the hilly region of the Vindhyan range, as the plains are completely devoid of stones. The absence of pottery suggests that the remains belong to the makers of an aceramic microlithic culture. (See GANGA VALLEY.)
