CUPULES

Authors(2) :-Kumari Abhilasha, Panduranga Sabale

Cupules uncommon and very less known word in the world of archaeology, though discussed largely. As to address the word ‘cupules’, it is a cup-shaped structure. The term “cupules” was invented by the world famous archaeologist Robert G. Bednarik. The discovery of cupules have aroused an environment of discussion amongst scholars, not only in archaeological niches but to my surprise in the world of Mathematics too. The main reason for it to be discussed in different departments was the probable reason for it to be made and the possibilities of its use. Though it is even today really tough to say with a certainty as to how was it used and why was it made. Yet scholars at different places in different countries have given their best explanation which make the study very interesting and worthy to be discussed.
