The excavated sites of historical period located in south India include Arikamedu, Brahmagiri, Dharanikota, Kaveripattinam and Maski. With these excavations, the succession of cultures prior to the Pallavas is now fairly well-defined. Besides. Buddhist monument-complexes have been excavated in various parts of the country, principally at Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Antichak (Bihar), Devnimori (Gujarat) Nagarjunakonda (Andhra Pradesh), Pauni (Maharashtra), Piprahwa (Uttar Pradesh) and Ratnagiri (Orissa) belonging variously to a period extending from the Asokan to the Pala.
