Front Cover Illustration: Menhir Statue, IndonesiaAbout the book:The study of megaliths is one of the most fascinating subjects in Indian archaeology. Megaliths are also found in west Asia, west Europe, (erstwhile) U.S.S.R., Sri Lanka and south east Asia. The author has endeavoured to establish a possible relationship between the south Indian megaliths and those of south east Asia by making a comparative study of their mode of construction and also of the materials found in the graves. Special emphasis is placed on the study of the pottery found in these graves. A note is added on the living megalithism of eastern India and the older megalithic culture of south-east Asia.
