**Sagar**, Dt Sagar. A rich Palaeolithic [4.2] site and 10 rock-shelters [13] were noticed about 10 km to the w. of Sagar. Two groups of rock-shelters with paintings in red ochre were discovered near Nariavli, 13 km from Sagar. Several microlithic tools were collected from the vicinity of Sagar, fluted cores, crescents and trapezes, variously in agate, chalcedony and jasper, forming in main bulk, the largest number coming from Chandala Bhata, a large site 3 km from Sagar. At a distance of 24 km e. of Sagar along the Rehli road 7 rock-shelters were found on the banks of the rivulet Gurar-Dahar. A few microliths but no pottery were found at the new site of the Univ. of Sagar. *IAR 1958-9; 1959-60; 1960-1; 1964-5.*
