Neolithic site found in Nagaland
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A settlement bearing deep incision marks on clay, coarse and gritty sandstone of what is believed to be holes made by poles and footprints, was discovered near Longtrok. A stone staircase, leading to a house, was also discovered close to the settlement.
Some partially weathered stone items, grinding stones and a variety of pottery pieces were also found.
Charcoal samples have been collected to establish the date of the civilisation. Soil samples have also been collected to look for traces of botanical remains
