The nuclear dates of the civilization appear to be about 25001700 bce, though the southern sites may have lasted later into the 2nd millennium bce. I am grateful to Naresh RFO of Wildlife Kolluru, Gangadhar, Siddeshwar, Anand, Janardhan, Sanjeev Shetty, Murlidhar Hegade for their whole-hearted support and my students Shreyas, Nagaraj and Shymili of MSRS College, Shirva. Indus civilization, the earliest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent. Hence, we tentatively consider the same time scale for the rock engravings of Avalakki Pare. Sundara was suggested a time scale for Mesolithic age from 10.000-3000 B.C. Indian archaeologists uncovered a 4,000-year-old copper crown in the village of Chandayan, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh last week, from what they believe was the late Indus Valley civilization. But, for the first in the west coast of India the petroglyphs of Mesolithic Age found in association with the flake tools from Coastal Karnataka.ĭating of the rock art is much difficult one. Large numbers of Mesolithic sites were reported by Dr.
Hunting scenes and associated assemblages found in the site very clearly indicate that the site must have been connected to the hunter and gatherer culture of Mesolithic Period. Majority of tools made out of Dolerite and small flake-tools. Absolutely, there is no domestication and agricultural tools. The spear heads, arrow heads, scrapers, blades, burine, stone sling balls and other types of microliths like lunates, points and cores were discovered in plenty. On the west of the site, heaps of microlith deposit is found. This thing is forced to believe us, that the figure must have been a religious significance. In 1947-48 an exhibition of Indian antiquities, sponsored by the Royal Academy of Arts, London was held at Burlington House, London. It was engraved with special interest and care and on the right side of the belly a cup-mark was done on the left side over the head a rectangular cup-mark was created. The genesis of National Museum collection is truly remarkable. Chola Empire (848 AD 1279 AD) South India and parts of Southeast Asia.
Among the figures of the site, the outstanding figure is a female figure. Gupta Empire (320 AD 550 AD) Most of the Indian Subcontinent. All figures are engraved in double-line style. One of the bulls is recalling the Harappan one in its execution. Bull hunting, Boar hunting, Bird hunting and hunting the deer was predominantly shown. All figures were shown in a motion of hunting mood. Among the engravings, 10 human figures including a baby figure. It is about 15-20 acres of grazing plain land in the wild life reserve forest. Kolluru is a great pilgrimage of India we discovered a rare Rock art site named “Avalakki Pare” on 17 February 2019.
