"When we set out for an expedition in the forest, little did we know that we were to discover an ancient civilization," Malik Tariq, an oncologist at S K Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, and Abdul Rouf, an engineering student told reporters.
They said they were researching the springs of Zalangam when they stumbled upon the site where artifacts, bricks, neolithic-age rocks, stone sculptures and coins were present.The site is located in a forest at a distance of two km from the famous spring of Kokernag in Anantnag.
"It is a prospective archaeological site."
