Artefacts in Perumbalai excavation site reveal an Iron Age story

According to the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates, the lowermost level of the site is dated back to the sixth century BCE.

This has been pointed out in the report Excavations at Perumbalai 2022 - by S Paranthaman and R Venkata Guru Prasanna, published by the Tamil Nadu archaeology department. Chief Minister MK Stalin had released this report recently.

Perumablai is a small village situated on the banks of Nagavathi (ancient Palar) river.

The report says the remains of pottery and other artefacts found at the ancient village shed light on the social, cultural, artistic, economic, and educational routines of the people.
