520			_aThis volume provides a comprehensive synthesis of the Lower Palaeolithic (Early Stone Age) of South Asia, representing the earliest phase of human occupation in the region. The authors examine archaeological evidence for early hunter-gatherer societies, including stone tool industries, settlement patterns, environmental adaptations, chronology, and technological developments over more than one million years. The book also reconstructs the lifeways of early humans, emphasizing their ecological adaptation, subsistence strategies, and the emergence of symbolic behaviour. It is intended as an authoritative introduction for students, researchers, and general readers interested in South Asian prehistory.
