**Nallagundlu**, Dt Chittoor. A workshop site rich in implements of the blade-and-burin industry and Late Stone Age (Mesolithic [4.5]) tools. The former was found to be older than the latter. The blade-and-burin industry comprised choppers, side and terminal scrapers, awl points, backed tools and a variety of burins. Long parallel-sided blades were quite common. The Late Stone Age industry was characterized by non-geometric microliths.
