With a view to salvaging the antiquities from the area likely to be submerged by the dam across the Godavari, the Departmet of Archaeology, Government of Andhra pradesh, under shri Mohd. Abdul waheed Khan, conducted a small scale excavation at Pochampad. In the course of preliminary exploration, cairn-circles, ciss and a rectangular platfrom, perhaps for exposing the dead were located on the right bank of the Gdavari. As a result of excavation, three burials were exposed. One of these marked by a double circle of stones on surface, showed a 1.8m deep pit, rectangular on plan and with a north-south orientation. Within the pit and at different lewels were found pottery of the megalithic Black-and-red ware and all-black and red wares. Besides, iron objects comprising lances, javelins, daggers, sickles and cross-strapped hatchets were also obtained. Surface-exploration nearby also yielded microliths including parallel-sided blades, points, lunates, etc. |
