| This paper presents a preliminary report on the microlithic assemblages recovered through surface explorations in the Sankh, Deo and South Koel river situated on the Odisha-Jharkhand border. This region, located in the northwestern part of the state, offers information about the spatial distribution and cultural diversity of microlithic traditions in eastern India. The field investigations have identified four prehistoric sites in primary and semiprimary contexts, yielding a variety of lithic artefacts such as core, flake, blade and bladelet, backed blades, scrapers, points, and geometric forms of microliths predominantly prepared from chert, quartz and quartzite. The availability of raw material along riverbanks and the presence of favourable landscapes comprising hills and uplands appear to have influenced prehistoric settlement in this area. While detailed stratigraphic and chronological assessments remain pending, the preliminary findings highlight the archaeological potential of the study area for reconstructing patterns of early human adaptation from the Pleistocene to the Holocene. This report documents site locations, artefact types, and initial interpretations, laying the groundwork for future systematic research. | ||
