A rock-shelter probaby used as a Mesolithic factory site (Indian Archaeology: A Review [IAR] 1982-83 / 1985: 7). SITUATION: Mahbubnagar, Mahbubnagar taluk [note 1], Tadikonda [Tadi Konda]16°40': 077°59'E (Indian Archaeology: A Review [IAR] 1982-83 / 1985: 7). CAVE POTENTIAL: The so-called rock-shelter (Indo-English Archaeologese) is, perhaps, a true cave with a dark, if not an aphotic or stygian zone, of which the entrance area seems to have sheltered humans and therefore was regarded as a rock shelter.A rock-shelter probaby used as a Mesolithic factory site (Indian Archaeology: A Review [IAR] 1982-83 / 1985: 7).
