comparitive study of society and economy of sangam age

Answer 1

Till the second century B.C., the upland portions of the peninsula with the Kaveri delta as the nuclear zone were inhabited by people who are called megalith builders.

They are known not from their actual settlements which are rare, but from their graves called megaliths.

These are called megaliths because they were encircled by big pieces of stone which contained not only skeletons of the buried people but also pottery and iron objects.
