==Archaeological excavations==
In 2004, a number of skeletons dating from around 3,800 years ago〔(Skeletons dating back 3,800 years throw light on evolution ). The Times of India.〕 were found buried in earthenware urns. More than 160 urns have been found. These urns also contained writing, which according to some ASI archaeologists, is "very rudimentary" Tamil Brahmi. The script is dated to 500-300 BC.〔('Rudimentary Tamil script' unearthed at Adichanallur )〕
Later, a three-tier burial system was discovered in which earlier generations were buried in urns at 10 feet depth and recent ones above them. Soon the habitation site of the people who were buried was also discovered recently.
Analyzing the habitation site, it was understood that people lived in a fortified town and it had a separate potters quarters. There was also evidence of industrial activity and archaeologists think that it was a crowded busy town. Sherds were also found with writings in Tamil-Brahmi scripts.
