Southern Neolithic culture is characterized by burnished grey pottery, polished stone axes and urn-burials. Subsequent to the discovery of a neolithic settlement at Brahmagiri, a number of such settlements were discovered in south India. These are Sanganakallu by Subbarao, Piklihal by Allchin, Maski by Thapar, Utnur and Tekkalakota by Nagaraja Rao. Neolithic settlements in the Andhra-Karnataka region have been discovered at Hallur, T. Narsipur, Hemmige and Nagarjunakonda. In Tamil Nadu, neolithic settlements have been discovered at Paiyamapalli, Gaurimedu and Mangalam. The location of these settlements is shown in Fig. 53a.
