The South Asian Upper Paleolithic Tradition of mobile bands of hunter-gatherers was located across the Indian Subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and, probably, Bangladesh and Nepal, from 40,000–7000 BP. Sites, however, have only been found in regional clusters, probably in areas that have better-preserved geological formations, experienced more favorable climate conditions during the period, and/or have been the focus of more research. Characteristic stone tools included blades, microblades, and microliths. Rare finds include beads, rock art, and a probable shrine from late in the period.
