TAMIL NADU, INDIA—The Times of India reports that a four-foot section of a well lined with rings of terracotta bricks was uncovered at southern India’s Keeladi archaeological site, which dates back to the second century B.C. Researchers from the Archaeological Survey of India said the well’s topmost section was probably damaged by recent industrial activity. The depth of the well will not be determined this excavation season. They added that there may be hundreds of such wells, which were used to store water for future use, spread out over the 110-acre site.
