An Upper Pleistocene palaeontological site discovered in the Paimer valley near Gaya in Bihar yielded fossils of *Cervus* sp., *Axis* sp., *Bos* sp., *Bubalus* sp. and *Emys* sp. (Badam, 1976). More and better preserved material is in fact needed for a specified identification of the fossils collected. Tools of Acheulian [4.2] characters—ovates, handaxes, cleavers, scrapers and flakes—were also collected from the fossil-yielding deposits.
