Defence Architecture in Early North Karnataka c8.10

c8.10

In the Deccan there are in two sites atleast, namely Daimābād (I.A.R. 1958-59, p.18) and Ināmgāon (Misra, V.N. 1977 (Ed.) pp. 47-48) remains of mud fortifications are reported to have been found. These are dated between 1500 B.C. to 1200 B.C. What is relevant to our study is the earliest attempts of the construction of the walls round the habitational area, evidently for defence from the possible attack of the outside enemies on the people of these towns and villages.
