Little archaeological exploration has been done on the Tapti proper. The central Tapti valley in Dt Dhule however has been found to be rich in Stone Age sites. This tract is marked by thick alluvium of nearly 60 m consisting of cross-bedded sandy gravel and silt. The Tapti and its tributaries have entrenched their valleys through these sediments which are exposed on steep cliffs. At places the sediments show three phases of deposition each consisting of gravel overlain by a silt or clay bed.
