Researchers find evidence of 4,000-year-old human settlement in Karnataka's Maski: Report
Maski: A collaborative team of international and Indian researchers has uncovered evidence of a 4,000-year-old human settlement in Maski, a town in Karnataka’s Raichur district, reported Deccan Herald on Thursday.
A group of over twenty researchers from the United States, Canada, and India has been excavating areas around Mallikarjun Hill and the Anjaneya Swamy temple in Maski for the past three months. During the dig, they unearthed various artefacts and tools dating back 4,000 years, suggesting the presence of a once-thriving human settlement.
The excavation team includes Professor Andreem M. Bower of Stanford University (USA), Peter G. Johansson of McGill University (Canada), and Hemanth Kadambi from Noida University (India).
The team started digging around in Maski after obtaining permission from the ASI. They identified 271 locations of archaeological interest and stumbled upon evidence confirming that the region around the Mallikarjun Hill and the temple were inhabited by people between the 11th and 14th centuries BCE, added the report.
“We have found evidence that indicates that there was a human settlement in Maski around 4,000 years ago,” DH quoted Kadambi as saying.
Among the artefacts unearthed are various domestic tools and cooking implements, including earthen pots and pans.
This new finding further enhances Maski’s historical significance, which gained prominence with the earlier discovery of an inscription dating back to the time of Mauryan emperor Ashoka.
