Uma sicabanga ngalesi sigaba esiphathelene nesikhathi sangaphambi komlando waseSri Lanka, yibuphi ubufakazi bokuthi kwakukhona amakoloni abantu bangaphambi komlando eSri Lanka?
Context:Ubufakazi bokwakhiwa kwamakoloni abantu eSri Lanka buvela endaweni yaseBalangoda. Indoda yaseBalangoda yafika kulesi siqhingi cishe eminyakeni engu-125 000 edlule futhi iye yahlonzwa njengabazingeli-baqoqi beMesolithic ababehlala emihumeni. Eminingi yalemigodi, kuhlanganise neyaziwa kakhulu iBatadombalena neyaziwa kakhulu iFa Hien Cave, iye yathola izinto eziningi zalaba bantu, okwamanje abayizakhamuzi zokuqala ezaziwayo zalesi siqhingi.  Cishe umuntu waseBalangoda wadala iHorton Plains, emagqumeni asenkabeni, ngokushisa izihlahla ukuze abambe inyamazane. Nokho, ukutholakala kwe-oats ne-barley emathafeni cishe ngo-15,000 BCE kusikisela ukuthi ezolimo zase zithuthukile kakade ngalolu suku lokuqala.  Amathuluzi amancane amancane egranite (cishe amasentimitha amane ubude), izitsha zobumba, izinsalela zokhuni olushisiwe, nezimbiza zokungcwaba zobumba zivela esikhathini seMesolithic. Izinsalela zabantu zangonyaka ka-6000 B.C.E. ziye zatholakala ngesikhathi kusanda kwenziwa imivubukulo emhumeni waseWarana Raja Maha Vihara nasendaweni yaseKalatuwawa.
Ubufakazi obudala kunabo bonke bokuthi abantu bakha amakoloni eSri Lanka buhlehlela emuva eminyakeni engaba ngu-125 000 edlule kumuntu okuthiwa uBalangoda Man. Wayengumzingeli-oqoqayo waseMesolithic owayehlala emihumeni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinsalela zabantu ezisukela emuva ku-6000 BCE nazo zitholakale ezindaweni eziningana ezweni.
