In the Lower Palaeolithic phase only though almost fifty percent of the industries had Levallois points, yet their number were found to be very limited (Jayaswal, 1978, Table - 2, pp.138-139). The percentage of Levallois points in the Lower Palaeolithic industries never exceeded 1.9%. In comparison to this, the type is well represented in the Middle Palaeolithic industries of the sub-continent (Jayaswal, 1978, Table - 6, pp 170 - 171). But only three industries viz., Vedullacervu, Tamkur and Mahadeo-piparia evidence the use of this technique.
