History

EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2001 - 2002: Ashok MARATHE (2006: 1539) carried out fieldwork by a number of field visits around Guhagar … The initial explorations were confined to Guhagar, Palshet and Hedvi and were aimed at locating the Palaeolithic sites either on surface or in the caves. Three important sites were discovered: (i) Two Early Acheulian cleavers were collected on the surface near the cave at Susrondi in Palshet (17°26'N, 73°15'E). (ii) A few Early Acheulian choppers and a cleaver were collected on the surface near a cave at Mandavkarwadi in Palshet; (iii) A good number of cattle bones with chopping marks on them, were collected inside a cave near Hedvi (17°21'N, 73°16'E).
