The use and relevance of archaeology in the post-modern world
The use and relevance of archaeology are often questioned by those in developing nations where economic development has a higher priority.

The Thaikkal‐Kadakkarappally Boat
Recent excavations at Kadakkarappally in Kerala, south-west India, have unearthed the remains of an iron-fastened boat, believed to predate the earliest known records for the use of iron in South Asian boatbuilding. The design departs significantly from the traditional view of Indian watercraft, although the use of locally available timber and the suitability of the design for use in the backwaters that characterise the region suggest that it was…

Hunter-Gatherer Adaptations in Madurai Region, Tamil Nadu, India
Archaeological investigations undertaken in the upper Gundar Basin (Madurai district, Tamil Nadu, India) between 1991 and 1996 have yielded evidence for the Mesolithic and Iron Age–Early Historic periods. The research has revealed that microlith-using hunter-gatherers continued to exist during the Iron Age and Early Historic periods, and interacted with agropastoral groups. This paper discusses the settlement system of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers…

Ancient Ports of Kerala
Maritime dynamics is one of the key factors that have shaped the history of Kerala from the early times. Although maritime activities and interactions might have begun in the prehistoric times, no concrete evidence is available for the maritime contacts of Kerala till the early historic period, i.e. around the second half of the first millennium BCE. But, from the early historic period, copious evidence is available for the maritime activities an…
