100 Year Old Gold Ornaments Discovered During Excavation in Lakkundi Karnataka

In Karnataka, 100-year-old gold ornaments have been found while excavating a house. One day after an ASI archaeologist claimed that the gold jewellery was unlikely to have been buried centuries ago, the director of Karnataka’s Department of Archaeology, Museum and Heritage issued the statement.

A family discovered gold jewelry and other items while excavating in preparation for building a home. Among the items discovered in the copper pot were jewellery weighing over 500 grams, such as a bangle, ring and bracelet. When Ganagavva Basavaraja Ritti began building in order to renovate the home, it was found at a depth of five to six feet. Around Lakkundi, a significant city prior to the 14th century, there has also been evidence of Stone Age communities, according to the reports.
