Lucknow, Apr 24 (PTI) A team of archaeologists is trying to unravel the pages of history in a small village in Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh as remains from the New Stone Age are being regularly excavated.
"During excavation work being carried out in Puccakot village, rare remains of Neolithic age upto Gupta period have been recovered," Professor R S Dubey, heading the excavation work being carried out by archaeological department of the Banaras Hindu University, told PTI over phone.
"These artefacts and remains could prove very important for detailed study of the civilisation and culture during this period," he said.
Prof Dubey said the artefacts recovered during the excavation which began in February could be as much as 4,000-years-old and point towards highly developed culture in the area between the Neolithic age and Gupta period.
