50. North and Central India form another major region where the continuity of development from the Upper Palaeolithic industries of the late Pleistocene to the Microlithic blade industries of the Holocene can be clearly perceived in the archaeological record, although it has not been quantified. The hill region of Central India, today still relatively undeveloped agriculturally, is as rich in Mesolithic sites as in central Gujarat. As on the margins of the Thar desert, numerous sites are located on small hills or rising ground, commanding a view of the surrounding country. Most of these yield a range of artefacts and waste materials which indicate that they were camping places or temporary living sites of small groups or families. Such sites are still favoured by local people as temporary or semi-permanent camping places to which they return from time to time. Tick mark the corect answer below: North and central India retains transition from upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic.
Development of blade technology into microlithic is attested in North and Central India
North and Central India was not suitable for the development of agriculture.
Archaeological records of Gujarat and Central India indicate development and continuity of blade technology of the late Pleistocene and early Holocene.
