The State Archaeology department will seek the help of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct a detailed survey of the sites in Attappady from where archaeological evidence of Iron Age habitation was found.
With an ASI licence, the Archaeology department will explore, and excavate if needed, several parts of Attappady soon. “We have discovered enough evidence to reach a presumption that a solid Iron Age habitation existed in Attappady about 2,000 years ago,” said Krishnaraj K., archaeologist who led a two-day field visit to Attappady.
