Numerous sites which are reported from peninsular India are characterised by Advanced or Late Acheulian features. The typo- technological characters of our industries compare well with the Isimila, Olorgesaile and Kalambo fall industries of Africa. These Acheulian collections were studies with a view to comparing the India data, by this author at University of California, Berkeley (USA). It was noted that besides finely made lanceolate and ovate forms of handaxes, the flake cleavers of Indian Acheulian tool- kit also have much technological similarities with the African industries of the later facies of Acheulian.
