EARLY MAN AROUND NARMADA

The paper examines four Lower Palaeolithic sites around the river Narmada in order to examine the possibility of delimiting any “micro-culture' zone within this area. The sites considered are Bhimbetka and Lalitpur in the north and Piparia and Adamgarh in the south. Analysis of the cultural materials from these sites indicates the possibility of the Malwa region being different from the region in the southern bank of the course of Narmada.
