The discovery adds valuable insights into early human life in the region. The site is about 50km from the Aalaniya River in Kota, one of the largest known locations for Stone Age carvings, further highlighting the rich prehistoric heritage of Hadauti and Chittorgarh areas.
<br /> <br /> A week ago, three locals observed unusual markings on a rock in a dense forest in Chittorgarh’s Amarpura village, near Rawatbhata. Told about this, historian and researcher Tej Singh of Maharishi History Institute at Kota visited the site with his team. They found cup marks and a mortar.<br /> <br /> 
“The 2.4kg mortar and sharpedged stone found at the site indicate that early humans likely used the tools to grind wild barley, nuts and leg- umes. The findings have been shared with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in Jodhpur and the department of archaeology and museology (DAM) for further studies,” Singh said, adding that the markings are believed to date back 35,000-2,00,000 years and that this could be oldest sign of human settlement in Rajasthan.<br /> <br /> 
“The latest discovery is in line with earlier findings along the Aalaniya and Chambal rivers. The Union govt should declare the area protected and conduct a major excavation to uncover more about our ancestors,” Jafarullah Khan, former superintendent archaeologist with DAM told TOI.
<br /> <br /> Unesco’s website describes the Chambal region and central India as having the largest concentration of known rock sites in the world.</div>
