**Renigunta**, Dt Chittoor. Stone tool assemblages are prolific in occurrence and fall into (i) an Early Stone Age (Lower Palaeolithic [4.2]) industry; (ii) a Middle Stone age (Middle Palaeolithic [4.3]) industry; (iii) a blade-and-burin (Upper Palaeolithic [4.4]) industry; and (iv) a non-geometric Late Stone Age (Mesolithic [4.5]) industry. The raw material in the first three is quartzite of different shades and in the fourth milky quartz and crystal.
