The Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Andhra Pradesh, conducted excavation of sixteen megalithic burials in Sites 1, 2 and 3, where cist-and-burials were found segregated. Excavation revealed that the Megaliths I IV to IX from Site 1 and I, III to V from Site 2 are cairn-circles with rectangular pits oriented east-west, containing fragments of skeletal remains, vases of Black-and-red Ware, red, black wares and iron implements pl. VI A . However, Megalith IV is an exception in having a slab-lined passage which is non-functional. There coffin-shaped formations in which skeletal remains and ash deposit were found, may be degenerated wooden coffins pl. VIII A Megaliths II, III from Site I and VI from Site 2 and I from Site 3 are port-holed cists with or without passage. The four orthostats of the chamber are arranged in clockwise pattern, and either the southern or the western rthostat is provided with a port-hole. In some cases, the chamber is divided into two halves by a transepting slab, which is also provided with a port- hole. The burials yielded fragmentary skeletal remains, sherds of Black-and-red, red and black wares and iron objects pl. VIII A. Excavation of Megalith II in Site 2 revealed that it is a platform formed of small stone-circle, inside of which is paved with slabs of shale. No burial pit was encountered below the slab pavement. |
