What are the main sources of information about the Later period of the megalithic culture??????
Solution
Megalith is derived from the Latin mega (large) and lith (stone).Megaliths are large single stone structures that are either constructed on the burial sites or commemorative memorials. These structures are some of the earliest man-made structures and give evidence for prehistoric cultures.
Sources-
Megaliths were constructed either as burial sites or commemorative (non-sepulchral) memorials. The former are sites with actual burial remains, such as box-shaped stone burial chambers, cairn circles and capstones. The megalithic burials have yielded a variety of objects, which prove to be very important in the study of megalithic culture. It is observed that right from the Later Palaeolithic period, an intentional burial was accorded to the dead for manifold motives.
