The Hunsgi and Baichbal valleys of southern India have been the subject of prolonged archaeological investigations resulting in the recognition of an elaborate sequence of Stone Age cultures. The two valleys have preserved a dense concentration of Acheulian sites. One of the most remarkable discoveries in recent years has been the identification of an Acheulian quarry at Isampur. Basic information about the locational setting and geoarchaeological features of Isampur is provided. The metrical and technological attributes of the rich limestone assemblage from Trench 1 are described. The technological evidence provides important information about Acheulian behaviors
