There is a very informative book "History and Culture of Khond Tribes" by Nihar Ranjan Patnaik, ISBN 81-7169-199-4 ,Commonwealth Publishers, New Delhi. In this wonderful book there is a whole chapter on the use of these posts and human sacrifice which was not fully suppressed by the British untill the latter half of the 19th century. This book is very easy to read and is a must have reference. The book is printed in India and is not made like a lavish western ART book, there are some picture in the back of the book but apart from the drawings rather poor. Some of you have Khond axes, you need!!! this book. Tim
