Correct Sequence
1. The Sabarmati, Mahi, Orsang, Narmada, Karjan, Bhadar and Hiran river valleys are associated with Lower Paleolithic archaeological sites in western and central India.
2. Lower Paleolithic sites in the Gujarat–Narmada region were generally located away from river valleys because rivers were unsuitable for prehistoric occupation.
3. River terraces and gravel deposits were important sources of raw material for manufacturing Lower Paleolithic stone tools.
4. The Acheulean technological tradition is particularly associated with bifacial tools such as handaxes and cleavers.
5. The distribution of Lower Paleolithic sites in the Gujarat–Narmada region indicates that prehistoric hominin activity was restricted to a single river system.
