Excavation
Excavation at Watgal was led by a collaborative team of archaeologists from the U.S. and the government of Karnataka. Surface studies and excavations produced black and red ware and pottery dating as far back as pre-historical times. Additionally, there were handmade red and grey wares, predominantly bowls and jars. Three burials were found, two infants and one adult. One infant was wrapped in a white fibrous material while the other was placed in two dull red wares. The adult had no associated artifacts.
