| Abstract: |
The neolithic culture of Northeast India forms a distinct identity in the Neolithic cultural tradition of India. E.C. Worman, V.D. Krishnaswami and B.K. Thapar classified the Neolithic cultures of India, whereas A.H. Dani, T.C. Sharma and O.K. Singh discussed the issue of Northeast in a broad spectrum and added more dimensions in solving the neolithic problem of Eastern India. The agricultural origin the transition to food production and domestication of animals is attracting increasing attention as a topic of enquiry in different parts of the world. Northeast India has not yet provided the basic subsistence economic pattern which includes not only polished stone tools but also other cultural traits like pottery, animal husbandry and process of beginning of agriculture. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight the vast repertoire of stone tools and pottery from different states of Northeast and their position in the neolithic status of Eastern India.
