Pit circles are common, for instance at NAGARJUNAKONDA and LAM in Dt Guntur (Sarkar, 1966), POCHAMPAD in Dt Adilabad (\*IAR 1967-8\*) and HASHMATPET in Dt Hyderabad (Nigam, 1971), whereas buried rectangular cists occur at places like Bowenpilly, Maula Ali and RAIGIR near Hyderabad (Hunt, 1924) and KESARAPALLE. The lastmentioned group may be dated to the period between the 5th century B.C. and 1st century A.D. - [Previous: v1.c9.s17.76](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.76) - [Next: v1.c9.s17.78](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.78) - [Up: v1.c9.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17) ## Linked texts (5) - [Nāgārjunakoṇḍa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.nagarjunakonda) - [Pochampad](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.pochampad) - [Hashmatpet](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.hashmatpet) - [Raigīr](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.raigir) - [Lam](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.lam) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.77) · Pramāṇa
