New Delhi: In a history-making achievement, the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has unearthed two decorated ‘legged coffins’ during an excavation process in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh. Officials claim that this is the first of a kind discovery in the Indian subcontinent. Furnaces, ‘legged coffins’ with skeletons were among the artifacts discovered by the team of ASI personnel.
The discovery was made during an excavation which commenced in 2018 with ASI’s Institute of Archeology Director SK Manjul at the helm. The excavation at Sanauli in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh was carried out with the aim to better understand burial sites and rituals.
Sanauli is the same area where ASI personnel discovered the first Bronze Age ‘chariots’ to be recovered as the result of archeological excavation in South Asia.
Director SK Manjul told The New Indian Express that the ‘legged coffins’ and other artifacts were discovered from the Ganga-Yamuna Doab region. He added that these articles such as weapons, chariots, and shields which have not been discovered in the Indian sub-continent prior to this.
Manjul also told the national daily that this excavation which began in January of this year and is being conducted at two locations will give archeologists a new dimension to better understand Vedic literature.
The official statement from ASI states that two burial pits and a sacred chamber of burnt brick were discovered in the first area. The further excavation led to the discovery of one wooden ‘legged coffin’ with steatite inlays having extended skeleton of a female, said the statement adding that traces of bone points, gold bead, and pottery systematically arranged towards north and eastern sides of the coffin was found in the burial pit.
Two big pots were also found placed under the coffin which is believed to have been used to store food and other organic remains associated with burial rituals.

Hello Angle#3,
Charlie here. Man, you eat’n vitamin charged doughnuts or what? I have heard of bow-legged coffins but not legged coffins.
As you know when you arch something it can hold more weight. Romans knew this simple rule and used the arch principle to build many buildings and aqueducts, etc.
Sort of like the DNA designed. Curl twisted strands can hold a lot of information. Did you know I copied that type of design? Have you heard of twisted doughnuts??
Guys at the factory call me that when I tell them about all my doughnut designs and decorations coming out. They are joking, of course. I think?
I have a project called DNA (Doughnuts Need Automation), BTW. Don’t tell them that but this is a 10-year plan to replace them with robots.
Signed,
Charlie (my workers saw my workbook titled DNA once. I just told them DNA means – Do Not Ask)
