There is one -andhar- (rock shelter) on a certain Maha Pahar (note 1) or -Big Hill- at an unspecified location somewhere in Goalpara district and, perhaps, in the low hills adjacent north of the Garo Hills. ARCHAEOLOGY: In spite of the fact that the rock shelter had not yielded any prehistoric tool MISHRA (2002) decided that it is a prehistoric rock shelter of nomads dating back back to 1,00,000 BC though any results from the rocks as well as earth deposits … sent to the ASI headquarter at Nagpur for chemical examination were still missing.There is one -andhar- (rock shelter) on a certain Maha Pahar (note 1) or -Big Hill- at an unspecified location somewhere in Goalpara district and, perhaps, in the low hills adjacent north of the Garo Hills.
