Daojali Hading

Daojali Hading is an important Neolithic site in Dima Hasao District of Assam, India on a low hillock about 1000 feet above sea level;[1] near Brahmaputra valley close to routes leading into China and Myanmar. Extensive digging at this site has yielded polished stone tools, ceramics and kitchen items such as grinders, pestles and mortars. Jadeite stone was also found that must be transported from China. A large number of pots have also been found. These findings suggest that people here were growing and storing grains, and preparing food from it. Also common finds of tools made of fossil wood(ancient wood that has hardened into stone),and pottery. [NEOLITHIC 10,000 years ago to till today]
