Summary
DescriptionEmbossed figures Kawtchhuah Ropui Mapuia Hnamte (2).JPG |
English: Kawtchhuah Ropui literally means ‘the great entrance of the village’. In most tribal societies of this region, a cluster of memorial stones were traditionally erected in the entrance of settlements in commemoration to their dear ones, braves or outstanding persons who won victories in war or hunting untamed animals. However, the uniqueness of Kawtchhuah Ropui has been seen that all the figures were embossed. It may be assumed that the dressing of Kawtchhuah Ropui stones might be done with fine iron-tools. From this point of view, I strongly opined that the past Mizo people were impossible to erect all these well-dressed stones due to lack of iron tools among the Mizos till the Bristish colonial power. Succession of the Past Settlements: Findings of potsherds near Kawtchhuah Ropui showed that there were two successions of settlement in this area. The typology of dressing clay-pots confirms this hypothesis. There have been found two types of potsherds, greatly differed from each other in its dressing – the first had irrigular threads of dress-finishing and well-baked while the second one bore regular threads ressembling the Mizo traditional techniuqes of dressing clay-pots. These striking features help us confident to conclude that two successions of human settlement must confine to this place. So, who would occupy this place? |
