\*\*Umaj,\*\* Dt Dhule. A highly developed bifacial industry \[4.2\] was found at the end of the upper reaches of the Ranka-nala, a tributary of the Tapti. This industry comprising late Acheulian handaxes, small discoids, scrapers, points and flakes was located in a silty clay mixed with yellowish-brown \*kankar\*-nodules. A blade-flake-scraper industry of Series II (Middle Palaeolithic \[4.3\]) seemingly evolved from the earlier industry occurred on the reddish-brown current overlying the first deposit. The next upper deposit contained a microlithic industry mainly on chalcedony, jasper and agate. \*IAR 1959-60.\*
