• Megalithic_Graffiti_Symbols abstract "Megalithic markings, Megalithic graffiti marks, Megalithic symbols or Non-Brahmi symbols is a terminology used to describe markings found on mostly potsherds found in Central India, South India and Sri Lanka during the Megalithic Iron Age period. They are usually found in burial sites but are also found habitation sites as well. They are tentatively dated from 1000 BCE to 300 CE marking the transition of proto historic period into historic period of South Asia. Number of scholars has tried to decipher the symbols since 1878 and currently there is no consensus as to whether they constitute un- deciphered writing or graffiti or symbols without any sylabaric meaning. From an archaeological Stratigraphy, potsherd with and without symbols are usually found at the lowest level, followed by potsherds with mixed symbols and Brahmi or Tamil Brahmi and eventually at the highest level potsherds are found only with Brahmi or Tamil Brahmi etchings. From 300 C, they disappear from grave sites. Scholars such as Iravatham Mahadevan have tried to link the symbols directly to Indus Valley script or as derived due to lingering influence, whereas others such as K. Rajan see the symbols as the genesis of the later Brahmi script. Yet many others see no particular alphabetic value in them only as graffiti symbols used for socio-religious purposes.".
