# Chitra Katha photo poster No. 30: Stone Age find at Rangamati (Bengali, Dacca)

A Bengali-language photo page for USIS Dacca on American anthropologist Dr. Robert H. Dyson's three months among the Chakma, Mogh, Mro and Kyang peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Photographs show him with a weaver, village headmen, a stone axe he found at Rangamati, pottery and a Buddhist image. The tell is glittering-generalities: the page frames American scholarly research as shared work uncovering a common human past.
