Hyderabad has a new set of "age proofs" to contend with.
Excavations near the city by the state archaeology department and recently unearthed devices dating back to the New Stone Age as well as the Iron Age.

"The history of Hyderabad goes back to the Neolithic Age" - P. Chenna Reddy, the director of archaeology and the one who headed the teams that carried out the excavations.

The site is close to Ramoji Film City, on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada national highway. Some New Stone Age implements were also recovered from a nearby village.
