Three new archaeological sites have been discovered in Telangana.
A team of archaeologists discovered a unique Iron Age megalithic site at Ooragutta near Bandala village in SS Tadvai mandal of Mulugu district, Telangana.
The site was discovered by a team comprising K P Rao and Ch Praveen Raju.
The exact number of monuments could not be counted in the dense forest and slopes of the hill but it is likely to be more than 200 megalithic monuments.
The site discovered at Ooragutta has unique features. The side slabs are arranged with slabs after the shape of the capstone.
The researchers have also discovered two new rock art sites at Damaratogu in Gundala mandal of Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
The first site is known as ‘Devarlabanda Mula’. It has only depictions of animals.
It is believed that the paintings are from between 8000 – 3000 BCE.
