Language: ENGLISH. About the book:- The recent history of the excavations at the Amaravati Tope may be summed up in few sentences. In 1876 Mr. Robert Sewell, M. C. S. , then at Bezwada, obtained a grant of Rs. 1,000 to make excavations at Amaravati, undavalli &c. , and began work at the Tope in May 1877, which he appears to have carried on with great care and judgment, and in his Report he very correctly states that "The object to be aimed at by any person engaged in excavating these marbles should, I think, be to fix so conclusively the position of each separate stone as it lay embedded in the soil at Amaravati.
