Hunasagi (Hunsagi) is a taluk ofYadgir district in the state ofKarnataka inIndia.[1][2]A number of early Palaeolithic sites have been found in Hunasagi.[3] Hunasagi is 48 km southwest of the district headquarters,Yadgiri and 33 km from Shorapur. The nearestrailhead is inYadgiri.old name was vikramapura
Some old Stone Age stone cutting equipments have been found and kept in the Hunasagi Grampanchayat office. It looks like a "Mini Museum".[4]
One late stageOld Stone Age site, excavated at Hunasagi, contained stone tools and weapons made from a reddish-brownchert. Tools found includedlongish blades with sharp edges and many multi purpose instruments.[3]
At some sites, large numbers of the tools, used for all sorts of activities, were found, suggesting that these were probably habitation-cum factory sites. In some of the other, smaller sites, there is evidence to suggest that there were locations where just tools were made. Some of the sites were close to springs. Most of the tools were made from the local limestone. About 15000 stone tools have been found there in abundance, considered oldest in India than the Pallavaram in Tamil Nadu.
