Resumen de Late Pleistocene art of India

Giriraj Kumar, Ragini Roy

  • India has produced sufficient evidence of late late-Pleistocene art, mostly in the form of mobiliary art objects. Archaeologically they are associated with an Upper Palaeolithic industry. Besides, there are some simple forms of petroglyphs and early form of dynamic dancers and animals in rock paintings.

    These, on the basis of circumstantial evidence, can also be assigned to that period. Thus, the late late-Pleistocene art of India presents the beginning of motif development, creation of design and ultimately that of animal and human forms. Ultimately it laid the foundation for the rich and varied tradition of Indian rock paintings in the following period. The tentative time span of Upper Palaeolithic in India is 40,000 to 10,000 yrs BP.
