| Итог: | It is an established fact that pre-historic or old Stone Age people were continuously
looking in search of food and habitation sites. Kerala too is not an exception as far as pre-
historic sites are related. It is a geographically isolated site which is guarded by Western
Ghats and several perennial rivers that provided a conducive environment for pre-
historic human beings to survive and flourish. The notion regarding the antiquity of the
Kerala pre-historic life was limited till last few decades. But subsequently new studies
have revealed a lot of evidences regarding the lives of pre-historic men. It gives wide
evidences that starts from lower Palaeolithic and goes beyond Neolithic to Iron Age.
Therefore, this article focuses on the life of the pre-historic people and their ways to
survive in challenging geographical terrain of Kerala with special references to the sites
of the Western Ghats. This is an attempt to show that there are evidences of cultural
continuity and wider habitation in pre historic Kerala. The sites are found all over spread
in this region as contrast to previous notion of “cultural isolation” |
