Brahmagiri archaeological site
Brahmagiri is an archaeological site located in the Chitradurga district of the state of Karnataka, India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Archaeological survey of India )〕 Legend has it that this is the site where age Gautama Maharishi (also spelt Gauthama Maharshi) and his wife Ahalya lived. He was one among seven noted Hindu saints (Saptharshi mandalam). This site was first explored by Benjamin L. Rice in 1891, who discovered rock edicts of Emperor Ashoka here. These rock edicts indicated that the locality was termed as ''Isila'' and denoted the southernmost extent of the Mauryan empire.〔〔Amalananda Ghosh (1990), p82〕 The Brahmagiri site is a granite outcrop elevated about 180 m. above the surrounding plains and measures around 500 m east-west and 100 m north-south.〔Peter N. Peregrine, Melvin Ember, Human Relations Area Files Inc. (2001), p367〕 It is well known for the large number of megalithic monuments that have been found here.〔Kenneth A. R. Kennedy (2000), p267〕 The earliest settlement found here has been dated to at least the 2nd millennium BC.〔Barbara Ann Kipfer (2000), p78〕
==Excavation history==
In 1947, Mortimer Wheeler further excavated the site on behalf of the Archaeological Survey of India.〔 The region was excavated again in 1956 by Seshadri and by Amalananda Ghosh in 1965 and 1978.〔
