Prehistory and Protohistory of India – An Appraisal – Palaeolithic – Non-Harappan Chalcolithic Cultures is a social history book written by V. K. Jain. Summary of the Book This title presents, in a succinct but wide-ranging manner, a syncretic perspective of the up-to-date information on numerous features like tools and technologies, settlement and existence patterns, ecological background and distributional configuration from the times of the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Cultures outside the Harappan Zone. The Megalithic Cultures of peninsular India and the Deccan are also exhaustively discussed in this monograph. Latest excavations, new dating practices and ever-growing conceptual contexts since 1950 have significantly reformed the perception of Prehistory and Protohistory of the Indian subcontinent. In this context, a glossary of the terms used recurrently in archaeology and maps, line-drawings and descriptive notes on individual sites are included along with the text. About V. K. Jain Dr. V. K. Jain is an esteemed Indian author and academician. Some of the other titles compiled by him include the following: Fire Safety in Buildings, Dictionary of Electronics, Pump Theory & Practice, Switching Theory and Digital Electronics, and Basic Computer Programming.
