Readers and history lovers are requested to go thru the list of this given below and be informed about the sites in their districts.These burial sites are the only source of information we have on the prehistoric life and civilisations of tamil nadu.Its our moral duty to conserve and protect these sites from encroachments and destructions.The crazy wave of real estate which is sweeping Tamil nadu of its rich agriculture lands is depriving us of these precious sites of information.
Regarding the various methods of burials, like cists,cairns and Dolmens, I shall collect information and provide in the forthcoming posts.
All are requested to provide your valuable feedback and sources of information and the kind of information you would love to see in the future posts.
Thanks one and all for the patient reading.
Thanks to Archaeological survey of India, I could collect this information from their website
