Belum caves are situated in the Kurnool district near Betamcherla and Banaganapalli. Archaeologists recovered a number of stone tools from these caves. These caves seem to have been used by the stone tools using hunter-gatherers as resting places for thousands of years.
Animal bones, stone tools especially microliths and also tools made of bones have been found in them. Tools made of bones are found only in these caves in the entire Indian Subcontinent.
