Hallur is an archaeological site located in the Haveri district (which was carved out of Dharwad district), in the Indian state of Karnataka.[1] It is a semi-arid region with scrub vegetation, located on the banks of the river Tungabhadra. The region is a low mound about 6.4 m deep.[2] The site was first discovered by Nagaraja Rao in 1962. Further excavations by archaeozoologist K. R. Alur in 1971, led to the discovery of horse bones, which were dated to belong to a period before the presumed Aryan invasion. This discovery created a controversy since it was against the belief that horses were introduced into the southern parts of India only as a result of the Aryan invasion. [3]
