\nOnly statement 2 regarding the ‘Levallois Technique’ is correct.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Levallois technique is a prehistoric stone tool knapping technique used to produce a specific shape of flake from a prepared core.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement 1 is incorrect. The Levallois technique is a method of lithic reduction used in the Stone Age, particularly associated with Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens, for making flake tools, not pottery. Harappan civilization is from the Bronze Age and is known for its pottery, but the Levallois technique is completely unrelated to it. Statement 2 accurately describes the Levallois technique as a method for making prehistoric flake tools by carefully preparing a stone core to control the shape of the resulting flake.
