\*\*Budhitittu, Biditittu, Booditittu,\*\* Dt Mysore. Excavation at the site on the s. bank of the river Swaranamukhi revealed remains of occupation belonging to the degenerate stage of the Neolithic culture \[4.6.9\]. Thick burnished grey and brown wares along with a limited quantity of Megalithic black-and-red ware \[11.15.3\] were obtained indicating a stage of culture when the intrusive Megalithic culture overlapped with the local Neolithic culture. A noteworthy type in the burnished pottery group consisted of head-rests \[12.5\] known from T. NARSIPUR. No Neolithic celts were found in the excavation, although quite a few were collected from the surface. The Russet-coated Painted Ware \[11.22\] was found as also some fragmentary inscriptions in Kanarese and Tamil.
