Mathematical Modeling of Archaeological Artefacts from Keezhadi Excavation, Tamil Nadu, South India

Keezhadi Excavation site is located in the south of Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers in Tamil Nadu, India. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) retrieved a lot of artifacts like dice, pottery items, gold coins etc which belongs to the Sangam Period (3rd century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D.) in Southern India. The major geo-archaeological techniques examined in the present study are: 1) discovering archaeological sites and documenting their internal structures, 2) surveying site formation and disturbance processes, 3) analyzing soils and sediments, 4) paleo-environmental reconstruction and the impact of humans (anthropogenic) on the landscape, 5) physical analysis of archaeological materials and 6) integrating geo-archaeology with social archaeology.
