The #microlithic using #monkey #hunters dwelling in the #rainforests of #SriLanka is equivalent, if not older, than the age of the Upper #Palaeolithic of western Europe. More on this coming you way soon! https://t.co/YptP55KSaJ

Need help identify this stone tablet found close to #neolithic objects in #Mauritania, including polished axes, funerary urns, #microlithic arrow heads... Could it be a polishing tool ?

Ostrowite 2019. The family of the owner of our site came from Holy Cross Mountains region in central part of Poland in 1940's. But about 7000 years earlier different people from that region transported 'chocolate' flint. It is about 450 km. #archaeology #Neolithic #microlithic

#Thiruthangal (#திருத்தங்கல்) Excavation in #TamilNadu In the epic #Silapathikaram #Thiruthangal is referred as an Important Settlement. #Trenches were laid at Western Extremity of the Village. #Microlithic Flakes&Core Material were found beyond the depth of 65cm! #Grooved_Tiles

Convergent evolution has been ignored by Palaeolithic archaeologists for too long. A couple of interesting contributions by Chris Clarkson and colleagues offer interesting examples of this topic, in relation to 'microliths', https://t.co/xfoGky3Art https://t.co/8dybKAKZvu

The Chronology of the #Microlithic Culture in SouthIndia is not yet settled! However, the available Evidence from #Sawyerpuram dates it to 4000 BCE! The Stratigraphical position at #Attirampakkam suggested that #Microlithic Culture was in fact a Continuation of Old Stone Age!

Though the #Mesolithic (#Microlithic) Period Artefacts were discovered at far South in the #Teri sites of #Tirunelveli during Exploration, it is for the First Time that #Mesolithic Stone Tools were found in the Excavations at #Tiruthangal #Mangudi by #TamilNadu Archaeology dept!

From this it can be assumed that after the #Microlithic Phase the area was not occupied and later on the #Megalithic people occupied this Area! The #Microlithic Tools are also found in nearby villages namely #Arugankulam #Puttur #Cholapuram #Thenmalai at #Tirunelveli District!

The Excavation brought to light several #Microlithic Tools. This was the earliest Cultural deposit found in the Trenches! The Occurrences of #Microliths in the stratified layers were very clear at #Mangudi Village. 10 Trenches were laid bare at the site called #Naicker_Punchai
