<br />
The [[Archaeological Survey of India]] was revived as a distinct department of the government and Sir [[Alexander Cunningham]] was appointed as Director General, taking office in February 1871. Cunningham was given two assistants: J. D. Beglar and Carlleyle. They were later joined by H. B. W. Garrik. Carlleyle handled the Agra region for the Report of 1871–72, while Beglar was responsible for Delhi.<br />
<br />
In 1867–68, Carlleyle discovered paintings on the walls and ceilings of rock shelters in Sohagighat, in the [[Mirzapur]] district. He was the first to claim a [[Stone Age]] antiquity for these. He also made many other important contributions to archaeology in [[India]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Kennedy|first=Kenneth A.
