Abstract Robert Bruce Foote of the Geological Survey of India, the father of Indian Prehistory was the pioneer to make detailed investigations of the stone age industries in different river valleys of the Karnataka State and has reported the occurrence of Palaeolithic tools at a number of sites in the districts of Bijapur Dharwar, Bellary, Shimoga, Chickmagalur and Chitradurga in 1876 and 1916. After Foote's pioneer work there was almost a lull in the prehistoric studies for a long period. In South Karnataka a collection of palaeoliths was made by M. Seshadri in 1945 at the sites of Kibbanahalli and Biligere in Tumkur district. This and earlier collection made by Foote in South Karnataka studied in detail by Seshadri since 1949.
