**Nandipalle** (79°5′; 14°45′), Dt Cuddapah. Stone Age site situated on a streamlet called Polerammavanka which joins the river SAGILERU. The stratigraphy consists of a basal gravel overlain by coarse white calcareous sand, a second gravel with an overlying layer composed of sticky clayey silt and a third gravel topped by brown silty sand. The artefacts from the three gravels may be divided into: (1) handaxe-pebble tools complex [4.2]; (2) flake tools complex; (3) blade and burin complex [4.4]; and (4) microlithic [4.5] complex. Handaxes and pebble tools occur in equal proportions in Sagileru-I while Sagileru-II has an industry dominated by scrapers.
