Later on R.E.M. Wheeler, finding in Krishna’s collections the Rouletted Ware \[11.21\] which he had dated in his excavation at ARIKAMEDU and encouraged by the presence of a habitation site on the n. side of Brahmagiri, excavated the site in 1947 on behalf of the ASI and the Mysore Dept of Arch. (Wheeler in \*AI\*, 4, 1947-8, pp. 180-311). At the habitation site he established a sequence of three cultures: Pd I, the Polished Stone Axe culture (now designated as Neolithic or Neolithic-Chalcolithic); Pd II, the Megalithic culture; and Pd III, the Āndhra culture (now regarded as one of the early historical cultures \[4.18.10\]).
