Book Summary
Most of the time Selvi's little village of peanut farmers lies forgotten. But once a year it springs to life - when the archaeologists come to excavate tools of prehistoric ancestors from the same river-bed that Selvi now walks over every day. These ancestors were hominins of the Lower Paleolithic Acheulian culture who lived more than half a million years ago, and their stone tools are what the villagers call chakka kal, meaning 'shining stones'.
