Abstract
Chronological studies on a fossil dune at Budha Pushkar in Thar desert suggest that the existing hypothesis of a wetter Middle Palaeolithic period in the region is not tenable. The present study suggests a revi sion of the stratigraphic framework of this regionally correlatable se quence in the Thar desert and questions the earlier archaeological inf erences.
