The excavation is in a bid to prove Panditpur, the capital of the ancient state of Koliya state spread across 360,000 square kilometers, according to a senior archeologist Tarananda Mishra.
Mishra, who is also leading this excavation, shared that a five-member team has been carrying out excavation, in a bid to finding additional artifacts, in various five places of Panditpur since May 7.
Bhaskar Gyawali, an officer of the DoA, informed that during the earlier round of excavation, the archeologists had found various articles as bangles, stones, human statues among other antiques dating back to the Kushand era in the 7th century BC.
The spot hogged the attention of the archeologists since 2002 when a local Narad Prasad Yadav found the antique materials while working in his farm. RSS
