The authors present an integrated data on the Quaternary studies carried out during the 1993-95 field seasons in a lesser known area, the Tarafeni Valley in Midnapur District, West Bengal. Microliths primarily made on chert, quartzite have been found in association with colluvial deposits formed more or less contemporaneously with underlying nodular calcrete of pedogenic Oligin. Occurrence of several vertebrate fossils on the surface of the calcrete at Dhuliapur indicates Late Pleistocene age of the artefact bearing colluvial deposits. The formation of pedogenic calcrete in a sub-humid environment, with an average annual rainfall of 1600 - 2000 mm, suggests the presence of semi-aridity in Late Terminal Pleistocene period.Keywords

Recent geo-archaeological investigations in parts of Kashmir valley and Himachal Pradesh show that there is no positive evidence for the existence of early mall prior to Middle Pleistocene. The Stone age tools found in the area are dominated by choppers of Indian Lower Palaeolithic tradition.
The climate was warmer in the early Pleistocene than in the late Pleistocene. There is no convincing evidence of lowering of snow line below 2500m during the whole of the Pleistocene.
