With reference to the Southern Indian Neolithic Ashmounds discovered at sites like Utnur, Palavoy, and Kupgal, which of the following statements matches F.R. Allchin's definitive structural interpretation?

Question

Accepted Answer

F.R. Allchin's classic structural excavations at Utnur proved that Ashmounds were not volcanic remains or simple industrial kilns. They were pastoral settlements consisting of stockades or cattle pens. The dung accumulated in these enclosures was cyclically accumulated and burnt, likely linked to seasonal pastoral bonfires or purification rituals.
