| Abstract: | The banks of the ephemeral Vaigai river of southern India have shed light on the history of Tamil Nadu, including the pre-Sangam and Sangam eras. The plains on the banks of the Vaigai river were the cradle of ancient history, culture, urban settlements, agriculture and industries that flourished here between 6 and 3 BCE. Recent excavations at Keezhadi village by the archaeological department exposed structures built from bricks and advanced drainage systems of the historical past. They are buried under flood deposits of sand, silt and clay. Luminescence geochronology of quartz in the sediments suggests that flooding and burial of structures occurred ca. 1140 years ago.
