| Major archaeological contribution / “first” | Not Established |
The Luni River Basin Palaeolithic Complex, including the Didwana, Mogara and Ajmer localities, is an important prehistoric archaeological zone of Rajasthan. The sites are associated with the Luni River and seasonal rivers of the region. The age of occupation is not decided, while the archaeological evidence represents the Lower Palaeolithic, Middle Palaeolithic and Upper Palaeolithic periods. The major finds include Acheulian and Middle Palaeolithic stone-tool industries, with artefacts such as handaxes, cleavers, cores, flakes, scrapers, side-scrapers, borers, points and Levallois flakes. Diagnostic faunal remains are not established, and no securely associated hominin fossils have been identified. The hominin species responsible is therefore not established. The Luni Basin is significant because it preserves evidence of Palaeolithic human activity in the arid landscape of western Rajasthan and the Thar Desert region. It is particularly important for understanding the distribution and technological development of Palaeolithic stone-tool industries in western India.
