Author : Neena Thakur
Abstract :
As far as the Prehistoric discoveries in the country are concerned, Orissa is an upcoming promising region. Numerous scholars have played a vital role in bringing out prehistoric cultures in different areas of the state. Their relentless endeavours have helped to attract many new scholars from all over the country. The sites and artefacts are reported by scholars yet there is a dearth of detailed and systematic metrical data. Nevertheless an attempt has been made by the researcher to understand the basic fabric of Orissan Prehistory. This paper presents a synthesis of our published research papers and thesis concerning the earliest human culture i.e.; the Acheulian Facies of Lower Palaeolithic age in the state. The works of all regions of Orissa has been revisited for the present study.
