Abstract
This paper is an attempt to re-visit the evidence of two major Acheulian sites in Vindhya- Narmada system, namely Adamgarh and Bhimbetka as a case study and throw light on the Acheulian hominin adaptation at this region. Among these two sites, the former one was excavated by R.V. Joshi and the later one by V.S. Wakankar and V.N. Misra during 1960s and 70s respectively. These primary works revealed detailed and crucial information regarding the tool typology, technology, raw-material and Acheulian habitation of these two sites individually. In the present work it has been tried to compare and analyse those data to elucidate the hominin adaptation tendency/tendencies during Acheulian phase in this particular geographical pocket of India.
