Palaeohistory of India: A Study of the Prepared Core Technique

Extensive surveys undertaken by various investigators, have placed India on the Prehistoric map of the world as an important habitat of the Palaeolithic man. This book presents an up to date study of Palaeo-technology and incorporates important Palaeolithic collections of the Indian sub-continent with the aid of new scientific methods.

The book has several distinctive features. Such a detailed study of techniques which were prevalent during the period of Prehistory has never been attempted before. Statistical methods, being employed in Europe for the last thirty years or so, have been used so extensively for the first time in this sub-continent, in connection with the study of Stone Age Cultures. Some of the conclusions arrived at by the author provide new dimensions to the study of India Prehistory. A large number of illustrations depicting the stone implements as well as the statistical data is another noteworthy feature of this book.
