The area covering Peddapalli and Karimnagar regions are studded with extensive archaeological sites ranging from Palaeolithic period to late medieval period, indicating continuous habitation of this region. Mesolithic tools and Neolithic tools were reported from this area, Kadambapoor is one of the megalithic sites that lies on south west of the early historic site Peddabankuru.

I am very glad to express my happiness, for publishing "Interim report on the excavations of early historic site at Peddabankur, 2017-18". I was assigned the responsibility for conducting excavations in the field season of 2017-2018 at the early historic site of Peddabankur which I wholeheartedly believe that I carriedout with utmost sincerity, devotion and commitment.
