A brief thread

There are many prehistoric sites in India, which shed light on the history of human settlement in the country.

We find such sites all across the country.

In this thread, let us know a little bit about 5 such unique sites.

1. Bori (Pune)

(Not to be confused with BORI - we are old, but that old)

One of the oldest pieces of evidence of humans in India, reported artefacts from Bori suggest the existence of humans in India around 1.4 million years ago.

But the most amazing part is that -

The site was found covered in volcanic ash, which came from the eruption of the super-volcano Mount Toba.

Eruptions of Mount Toba over the millennia are believed to be extremely influential catalyst events in earth's history.

2. Isampur (Karnataka)

A densely concentrated complex of 200 odd sites, Isampur excavation uncovered a human settlement that is approximately 11 lakh years old site.

At Isampur, ancient man-made tools made from the bedrock can be found.
