The historians believe that various objects found from burials suggest that social differences were in existence in the society. Many a times, more objects were found in one grave. For example, a skeleton was buried with 33 gold beads, 2 stone beads, 4 copper bangles and 1 conch shell in Brahmagiri. Some other skeletons have been found with only a few pots. All these discoveries reveal that there were some variations, perhaps, on economic basis, in status amongst the people. While some were rich, the others were poor, some were chiefs and others were followers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Megaliths were found on the surface and underground.

The dead were buried in those megaliths, along with various things such as pots (known as black and red ware), tools and weapons made of iron, gold ornaments, skeletons of horses, conch shells, etc. And different things were buried with people of different ranks or status.

Sometime megaliths had more than one skeleton, indicating that people and animals close to dead people might also have been buried in the same place.
