But sporadic occurrence of pointed-butted polished celts, similar to those of BRAHMAGIRI or the sites in Salem or N. Arcot, has been reported either from Megalithic underground rock-cut tombs in the lateritic areas or out of context in the Periyar river beds. - [Previous: v1.c9.s6.t6.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6.23) - [Next: v1.c9.s6.t6.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6.25) - [Up: v1.c9.s6.t6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.t6.24) · Pramāṇa
