| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
A chiff-section on the river along the left bank, close to the road-bridge at Hijiakheri. Showed the following sequence, from bottom upwards I concreationary clay II fine sandy gravel and III silt. No tools were found in any of these deposits. In front of the above section, however, and directly overlying the rock was a highly-cemented 2.43-m thick deposit of fine gravel with occasional pebbles yielding Middle Stone Age tools. Though Early Stone tools were available in the river-bed, their stratigraphical context remained unknown. Microliths were found on the rocky surface at a number of place and sometimes also in the river-bed, where they and apparently been washed down from the surface above. A study of the available lithic material from this region shows that typologically there was no break between the Early and the Middle Stone Ages. Handaxes and cleavers which were made of quartzite in Early Stone Age continued to be made in chert in the Middle Stone Age, though their size and number were reducced. The evidence from the Luni and Betwa basins of western Rajasthan and north-east Madhya Pradesh alsopoints to a similar inference. It would appear, therefore, thatunlike the northern Deccan, the change from the Early to the Middle Stone Age in the Rajasthan area was through a smooth transition. This typological inference needs to be established by stratigraphic evidence. |
