Archaeological sites
One late stage Old Stone Age site, excavated at Hunasagi, contained stone tools and weapons made from a reddish-brown chert. Tools found included longish blades with sharp edges and many multi purpose instruments.
At some sites, large numbers of the tools, used for all sorts of activities, were found, suggesting that these were probably habitation-cum factory sites. In some of the other, smaller sites, there is evidence to suggest that there were locations where just tools were made. Some of the sites were close to springs. Most of the tools were made from the local limestone. About 15000 stone tools have been found there in abundance, considered oldest in India than the Pallavaram in Tamil Nadu.
