A

Madrasian Culture is a prehistoric (aka Paleolithic) culture of South India.[10] It flourished in the Lower Paleolithic, the earliest subdivision of theStone Age, about 2.5 million years ago. It is called the Madrasian culture because artifact tools thought to be related to this culture were first found at sites in Attirampakkam (Attrambakkam=13? 13’ 50”, 79? 53’ 20”), which is located near Chennai (formerly known as Madras),Tamil Nadu.[11]Thereafter, tools related to this culture have been found at various other locations in this region. Bifacial handaxes and cleavers are typicalassemblages recovered of this culture.[12] Flake tools, microliths and other chopping tools have also been found. Most of these tools were composed of the metamorphic rock quartzite.[11] The stone tool artifacts in this assemblage have been identified as a part of the second inter-pluvial period in India.[13]
