The recent history of the excavations at the Amaravati Tope may be summed up in few sentences. In 1876 Mr. Robert Sewell, M. C. S. , then at Bezwada, obtained a grant of Rs. 1,000 to make excavations at Amaravati, undavalli &c. , and began work at the Tope in May 1877, which he appears to have carried on with great care and judgment, and in his Report he very correctly states that “The object to be aimed at by any person engaged in excavating these marbles should, I think, be to fix so conclusively the position of each separate stone as it lay embedded in the soil at Amaravati.

James Burgess (1832 – 1916) was the founder of The Indian Antiquary in 1872 and an important archaeologist of India in the 19th century. He did educational work in Calcutta, 1856 and Bombay, 1861, and was Secretary of the Bombay Geographical Society 1868-73. He was Head of the Archaeological Survey, Western India, 1873, and of South India, 1881. From 1886-89 he was Director General, Archaeological Survey of India. In 1881 the University of Edinburgh awarded him an honorary Doctor of Letters (LLD). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1894. He won its Keith Medal for 1897-99, and served as their Vice President 1908 to 1914.
