Archaeologists in Mumbai have found stone tools dating back to the Middle Stone Age. The stone tools found on a hill near Manori beach indicate that they could date back to 10,000 to 15,000 years.

Experts believe that the hill where the microliths, or minute flint stone tools were discovered could have been a possible factory site for such implements, Hindustan Times reported. They also believe that this finding will help them trace the habitation the islands had in the Mesolithic era.
