1.2 m – 80000 yrsLower Palaeolithic
80000-40000 yrsMiddle Palaeolithc
40000-30000 yrsUpper Palaeolithic
SOUTH ASIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CHRONOLOGY
2600-1900 BC Harappan Tradition
7000-5000 BC
Sanyasulagavi
Major part of the Human life occupied by Hunting-Gathering stage . They lived for a short period either for manufacture or subsistence purposes in natural caves or shelters. This was due to extremely cold climatic conditions. Traces of their occupation are found in at such shelters or near the source of raw materials
Billasurgam Cave
Mogasarayangondi Cave
Mesolithic Period- Very important as one witnesses switch over from Hunting-Gathering to Agriculture. Man began to stay at one place little longer. Traces of flimsy floors have been reported from many sites
Neolithic Stage- Beginning of Agriculture due to changing Climatic conditions, population rise, etc. Evidence of habitation , emergence of proper structural activities, change in the social organization, different types of structures including domestic, craftmen’s area, public, religious, etc.
Mehrgarh
Period I- Early Harappan features at Farmana
A number of well made floor levels noticed between the
Early and Mature Harappan phases in Farmanan suggesting
dradual development in the Structural Activities
St. 1
Phase from Early to Mature
Structural Phase- I- Period IIA
Structural Phase-II, Period IIB
FARMANA: A PLAN OF STRUCTURES
Tow structural levels have been excavated: St. Phase- I belong to Period IIA and St. Phase- II of
Period- IIB
Structural Phase-I – Period IIA, Locality-3, North of the settlement- Structure Complex 15
Period-IIA- Structural Phase-I- Locality-2, East of the settlement
Structure Complexes 8-12 all oriented NW-SE, the pattern which continues in Period IIB also.
Structure Complexes 8-9
Period- IIA
Structure Complexes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Structural Phase II- Period- IIB, Locality-1
Another Kitchen cum storage of the complex 3
Fire places of different shapes and sizes- Rectangular majority. Usually pots and jars are associated with them.
Structure Complex 3
Storage rooms and pits of the complex
St. Complex 4- Nine rooms (4A to 4I) of which have been excavated so far

Economic and social conditions, etc.
Fully settled community prefer Rectangular/ Square structures
Whereas semi-nomad ones circular structures-Reasons
Size and nature of construction provide information regarding
Economic conditions.
