This site was first excavated by ASI in 1876. Dr.Jagor, German.
Finds include utensils, iron weapons (knives, sword blades and hatchets)
And bones.

All the artefacts were taken away by him to Berlin.
There is a museum in Berlin for Asian art.

What's very interesting is that NO DETAILS OF HIS COLLECTION ON ADICHANALLUR IS AVAILABLE.

His other collections are recorded and displayed in the museum.

Then Mr.Alexander rea carried out studies from 1899 to 1905.
He found a burial site of about 114 acres.
Findings include bones, Pottery, vessels,diadems and metal artefacts.

Currently, his collections are the only documented source of the site.

He was of the view that the site belonged to pandyas. A poto tamil race.

#attrocitiesbyASI #ASI was found in 1861 headed by director general. for the past 70 yrs, this post have been occupied by upper caste #Sanskrit scholars mainly #brahman.
why no one from #OBC, #SC or #ST?
If #tamil and #sanskrit are the oldest languages of the country.
recently it has been established that tamil is the oldest through #keezhadi #keeladi.why no importance has been given to the tamil language?
why ASI doesnot recruit tamil scholars for conducting studies in south?
#arikamedu is the first site of archealogical importance to be found in india. in 17th century by french.
In 1945, wheeler, then director gen of #ASI found out that it is a indo-roman trade town.c.1 BCE to c.2 CE.
