Exam Strategy

UPSC tests Stone Age chronology, tool typologies (Oldowan, Acheulian, Mousterian), and specific Mesolithic/Chalcolithic site identifications with regional distribution patterns. Examiners frequently ask about key archaeological sites (Bhimbetka, Mehrgarh, Balathal) and cultural transitions. Avoid confusing phase names or mixing up tool characteristics across periods.
