Ancient Settlement in India. Officials of the Archaeology Department who visited Dayananda Ashram at Puliyankad, near Kollengode, confirmed that the site was an old Megalithic settlement. The port-holed cists found there dated back to the Megalithic period of 1000 BC to 200 AD. He said excavation of the area would be taken up after the monsoon. During the monsoon, it would be difficult excavate and correctly measure the soil layers to assess the port-holes.
The two-member team consisting of B. Balamohan, Head of Thrissur Archaeological Museum, and its curator K.R. Sona examined the site where the cists were found.
Mr. Balamohan said three cists where identified by them during their examination of the site and there were traces of many more such Megalithic chambers in the compound. They are of secondary burials — bones kept in port-holed cists along with other items such as beads, parts of weapons, etc.
