Geomagnetism made 5th Keezhadi excavations phase easier than before?

"Through the techniques, artificial objects buried in the ground at a particular depth were identified. A graphic map of the objects helped us to zero in on the possible spots where we could find artefacts," he explained. However, the official admitted that not all the areas marked in the map led them to artefacts. "The results may not be right all the time but the techniques were helpful in many ways," he shared. While the identification process involved modern technologies, unearthing the findings was done only through traditional methods, said the official. Terracotta pipelines also found Several open and closed channels, floored by using roof tiles, terracotta pipelines and ring wells were found in the fifth phase of excavation. "We have only found a part of these channels and they are of varying sizes. We are not sure whether the channels were used for transporting water, the official said. Meanwhile, terracotta pipelines, appearing to be machine-made, were also found near a channel in one of the trenches. "The structures seemed to be made through careful planning with the help of machineries, though the type of machinery used is still a puzzle to us," he added. The officials also displayed miniature pots and urns, human figurines and Tamizi inscriptions in black and red wares excavated during the phase. A symbol of wild boar engraved in a cornelian (a brownish-red mineral of gem), ivory engravings, bone points and beads were among the other findings. The officials are trying to trace the channel-like structures to find its use. Madurai Lok Sabha MP Su Venkatesan, who visited the site, said that the findings in the fifth phase are connected with the structures identified in phase II. The fifth phase will conclude in the last week of September. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
