3,300-year-old site discovered in Sri Lanka
An archaeological site more than 3330 years old has been found in the
Udaranchamadama area in Embilipitiya (Sri Lanka), by a group of local
archaeologists. The site had been discovered by Professor Raj Somadeva
and his team while excavating an area belonging to the Sri
Jayabodharama temple in Udaranchamadama. The ruins of a cemetery had
been found earlier in the Pahalaranchamadama school premises and this
team believed that traces of the village that used the cemetery could
be discovered from this excavation.
"The discovery of this site is a landmark in our history. This
is the first time in Sri Lanka that we have found artefacts that are
to more than 3330 years old," said Professor Somadeva. Grinding
stones, painted pots, granite tools and other items were among the
findings. Excavations are to be completed within the next two weeks.
The team expects to obtain more information about the village from
further excavations.
