This August 22nd a group of us visited the Madras Museum, Egmore to see a display of Urns from the Kilpauk excavations. This is a very important find as it creates a timeline of continuous habitation around Madras from around the Megalithic period (100BCE - 300 AD). Unfortunately only two Urns were on display. It was sad to see that the authorities had used upside down tables as stands for the Urns!
Please read the text in the image for more details.
After this we decided to visit the main gallery. Here we came across some beads that were on display from Mohenjo Daro. There was a set of three Carnelian Beads as well as Terracotta beads that were elongated with tapering ends.
