R.E.M. Wheeler has given an account of the findings in the excavations at Brahmagiri and Chandravalli in the Chitaldurg district of Mysore. These reveal three interlocking cultural levels. The lowest strata correspond to a Stone Age, the intermediate to an Iron Age extending probably from 200 B.C. — 50 A.D., and the uppermost, to what is named the Andhra Culture and extend to the surface. The Andhra Culture is believed to belong to the latter half of the 1st century A.D. as the discovery of certain Roman coins indicates.
