Chalcolithic and beyond Hazarika notes the broader region to not show evidence of any significant cultural transformation, upon the dawning of Copper Age (and then, Iron Age). The state has an abundance of megaliths of various shapes, serving distinct purposes.

The hill-tribes are probably of autochthonous origins. Gallery Bibliography Other websites PREHISTORIC ARCHAELOGY. Course Name: PREHISTORY. Paper No. & Title: B.A. / B.Sc.
