Conducted excavation at megalithic burial site at Agiripalli. During the excavation seven burials were exposed. Megalith I is a cist-burial with cairn packing. The circle stones are either missing or were not provided, as the raw material is not available in the near vicinity. The cist is rectangular on plan having the eastern and western orthostats 1.80 m longer than the southern and northern ones 0.75 . The chamber is not provided with any port-hole, but has a floor slab at a depth of 1.15 m. No capstone was found. The deposits inside the cist chamber included pottery of red and Black-and-red Wares, a few calcined bones and an iron object. Megalith 2 is also a cist-burial pl.II A , comparable to the above one, but with the northern orthostat standing taller than the others. The funerary deposits within the cist chamber comprised four skulls near the western orthostat, two near the eastern orthostat pl.II B , and some bones placed below the skulls, besides pottery of pale-red and Black-and-red wares. Megalith 3 is also similar to the above ones, and yielded pottery of the typical Black-and-red vases with flanged rim and carinated at the base and three lids in red ware. Megaliths 4 and 5 are terracotta sarcophagi pl.IIc , measuring 1.37 X 0.45 X0.47 and 1.12 X 0.45X 0.50 m, having six legs each. Of these one sacrophagus yielded two vases in Black and-red Ware. and a straight-sided beaker type of bowl in red ware, and a few splinters of calcified bones. Megaliths 6 and 7 are urn-burials, placed side by side. The urn with globular body, round base and slightly everted rim, is in red-slipped ware, decorated with concentric bands. The urns yielded a few calcined bones. |
