    The Amaravati Stupa pertains to a comprehensive depiction of stones, encompassing those extracted by Mr. Sewell, those situated at Bezzwada, ancillary observations on the Amaravati Stupa, and finally, the Jaggayyapeta Stupa. This tome eloquently describes 253 stones, all procured from Amaravati. While the stones are not systematically numbered or demarcated on the plan, in order to evade any further perplexity, the numbers assigned to the stones are presented herein, with a secondary series denoted as B, interspersed to specify other stones necessitating attention.

    • INTRODUCTION

      The recent history of the excavations at the Amaravati Tope may be summed up in a 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, etc., 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, that, whether they are transported to Madras or London, or remain exposed where they fell, those interested in the subject and possess the requisite scientific knowledge may be able to reconstruct the original monument, at least so far as the present position of the remains may enable them to do so. The removal of some stone, by one not possessing the requisite knowledge of the scientific importance attaching to the position in which it was found, may destroy forever all chance of determining some valuable or interesting question at present doubtful."
