Researcher Dr Sharma shared that artefacts were found at different places including Jumlikot, Khunkhune, and Gidhaniya.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on the pottery and other tools found there in course of the research, it can be assumed that people had inhabited in this area during the Stone Age,&#8221; he argued. Sharma and Tharu had carried out research at Gidhaniya, Majhaktuwa, Raniyapur, Jhakri Dhunga, Janti Dhunga, Bigule Dhunga, Sita Dehari Jumlikot and Rajakot.<br \/>\nSome pieces of stone, fragments of stone tools and sharp-edged weapons were also recovered from east Raniyapur in course of the study.
