1. Consider the following statements regarding the geographical basis of the Soanian culture:
- The Potwar Plateau lies between the Indus and Jhelum rivers.
- The Soan River created river terraces and gravel deposits that preserved stone tools.
- The Indus drainage system provided water, animal resources and routes through the landscape.
- Quartzite was an important raw material for Soanian stone tools
Consider the following statements about the Soanian and Attirampakkam stone-tool traditions:
- Soanian populations made extensive use of naturally rounded river cobbles.
- High-energy rivers contributed to the rounding of cobbles through prolonged abrasion.
- Attirampakkam had a lower-energy river environment in which stones were generally less rounded and more angular.
- The environmental difference contributed to greater reliance on bifacial handaxes at Attirampakkam.
