Ancient Village or Settlement in Tamil Nadu State.
This village of the Chēra (Chēral) dynasty, was a manufacturer of gem stone jewelry and iron, and was part of an Indo-Roman trade route. The archaeological site includes a large cemetery of megalithic tombs and simpler burial sites dating to the 2nd C BC.
The settlement was abandoned in the 3rd Century AD.
Excavations have been occuring periodically since the 1960's.
Note: Location is for the modern village.
Note: An archaeological dig at Kodumanal in Tamil Nadu reveals what big business was like 2,300 years ago.
