Sanuli Excvation 1st:
- The excavations first began in 2005 and within a year 116 burial sites were discovered. Due to this, it was referred to as one of India’s largest known necropolis in the Chalcolithic period.
- The burial sites are different from Indus Valley Civilization. The coffins are 4 legged and the tombs had underground chambers.
- In the tombs are found systematically arranged vases, bowls and pots near the body.
- There is rice found in those pots buried along with the bodies of the troops
- In one coffin upon excavation, 8 anthropomorphic figures (something that looks like humans) were found on it.
- One thing that is extraordinary is that the burials were similar to vedic culture and not Indus Valley culture
- Impressions of cloth to wrap the bodies suggests purification of corpses like those practiced in Hindu customs today.

- After reporting of copper antiques, the ASI started the dig.
- They found horse drawn chariots which were almost 5000 years old. The chariots found have a fixed ankle linked through a long pole to a small yoke. This ankle, chassis and wheel shows similarity to the modern chariots. These chariots are thought to have been drawn by animals, preferably horses.
- Many weapons like copper antenna swords, war shields etc were found
- They also found wooden for legged coffins this time along with pottery.
- Also a whip to indicate to the animals has been found, which means the tribe that lived here controlled the animals
- Along with the male warriors, female warriors have also been found buried with their swords.
- However their legs around ankles had been removed before they were buried.
- The region is expected to be fertile and suitable for agriculture. The excavation hints at a large kingdom’s existence here.
Carbon Dating of the objects found in Sanuli:
- Once the carbon dating of the objects was done they were found to be 3800 years old. This means the civilization was alive in 1800 BC.
- The process of carbon dating was done in the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences in Lucknow. The technique used was C-14 dating technique.
- The human remains were inspected by the Deccan College, Pune and a lab in Hyderabad conducted the DNA research.
