The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has now confirmed that ancient rock carvings found in Goa’s Mauxi (Mhaus) village belong to Neolithic period.
- These rock carvings were found etched into the meta basalt rock along the dry riverbed of the Zarme river some two decades ago.
- The carvings were initially discovered by local residents some 20 years ago and tell a lot about the early inhabitants of the region.
- The carvings are of animals such as zebus, bulls, and antelopes, alongside footprints and cupules.
- The circular cavities on the rock surface signifies the community involvement in discovering historical artifacts.
