Open-air, pediment surface sites present a rich record which has contributed significantly towards our current understanding of the South Asian Palaeolithic. The slow-accumulating palimpsest nature and context of these sites and site-complexes necessitate a reinvestigation of lithic assemblages recovered from such sites and localities. In this paper, the technological and reduction sequence parameters of select open-air pediment surface sites is presented to elaborate on possible patterns of similarity and variability amongst such lithic assemblages. The generated attributes, patterns and lithic technological behaviour are juxtaposed with our current understanding of the South Asian Palaeolithic, especially that of the ‘Large Flake Acheulean’ characterisation of the Lower Palaeolithic. This project hopes to nuance our current and on-going discussions of the South Asian Palaeolithic, especially with regards to the incorporation of datasets from open-air, pediment surface sites. While often considered, pediment surface sites are sometimes still peripheral to major discussions because they are difficult to date using current dating methods, and a result of multiple, repeated hominin occupation episodes and activities, possibly separated over long periods of time that are complex to distinguish.
