| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The artefact horizon comprises an indurated ferricrete gravel around 20-30 cm thick, with artefacts often embedded within the duricrust. This overlies a Cenozoic laterite profile Unit 3 , base of which cannot be seen. The site is extensively quarried and disturbed, owing to both quarrying and road construction which dissects the area. A very low density of tools is seen across the area, only around 1 to 2 artefacts m2 although the density increases as one moves west across the site. |
