As early as 1872, W. Fraser, inspired by Foote’s discovery of palaeoliths at PALLAVARAM, collected numerous neoliths from around N. Hill in the border area of Sanganakallu and KUPPUGALLU including celts and chisels and brought the site to the notice of the latter. Foote surveyed the area in 1884 and traced a large Neolithic settlement with celts, etc., of dolerite in very large numbers in various stages of manufacture; corn-crushers; five or six well-polished, parallel grooves 18 or 20 cm long and 2 to 3 cm deep close to one another within an area 50 cm on a rock-surface near by; flake tools such as scrapers; and iron slag, terracotta tuyère, etc. (Foote, 1916). Besides on the n. side of the hill are a number of rock-bruisings earlier noticed by Hubert Knox, comprising figures of men, elephants, bulls, birds, stars, etc., ranging in date from the overlap phase of the Chalcolithic and Megalithic to modern times. Near the site are two ash-mounds \[14.3\] of scoriaceous slaggy ash. - [Previous: v2.c45.158](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.158) - [Next: v2.c45.160](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.160) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) ## Linked texts (2) - [Sanganakallu](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sanganakallu) - [Pallavaram](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.pallavaram) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.159](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.159) · Pramāṇa
