Sauripura

Sauripura is an archaeological site along the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh with multiple layers of ancient structures and artifacts buried in the ground. The remains include brick constructions, pottery, and metal objects spread across different time periods of Indian history.

The site shows evidence of habitation across multiple periods of Indian civilization, revealing how settlements changed over centuries. Excavations have uncovered layers that help researchers understand the growth and transformation of ancient communities in this region.

The pottery styles and brick construction methods found here reflect how people worked and traded in ancient times. These objects show the daily skills and connections that linked communities across regions.

The site is located a short distance from Shikohabad and can be reached by local roads that may be rough during rainy periods. It is best to plan a visit during dry months and bring water and sun protection when walking the excavation grounds.

The site sits directly along the Yamuna River, where natural conditions have kept ancient soil layers undisturbed and well preserved beneath the surface. This riverside location gives researchers a clearer picture of how people lived in early times compared to heavily disturbed locations elsewhere.
