- Excavation works have started at the Doddalathur Megalithic burial site in Hanur taluk of the Chamarajanagar district.
- The west of the village is a small hillock and in the adjacent fields are hundreds of burials of the megalithic period which corresponds to the Iron Age.
- The burials consist of circles made of large boulders hence the name “megalithic”.
- Since iron technology came into use during this period, it is also known as Iron Age.
- In south India, this period has been broadly placed in the time bracket of 1200 BCE to 300 CE.
