dc.description.abstract | Arikamedu is one of the most important early historic ports on the East Coast of India. Arikamedu excavations and explorations have shown evidence of maritime contacts between India and the Roman and Southeast Asian countries as early as the third century BCE. Recently, fresh explorations at Alagankulam, Karaikaddu, Suttukeni, Keeladi, including Arikamedu on the Tamil Nadu coast were carried out wherein rouletted ware (RW), beads and other artefacts were recovered. Among the artefacts, the most notable finding is of a miniature stone sculpture of Ganesh on the left or right bank of the Ariyankuppam River. This article discusses the analysis conducted on the the rock sample of the Ganesh sculpture using the non-invasive XRD and EPMA instruments to understand the composition and probable provenance of the rock; and outline the importance of analysing pottery to understand its role in maritime trade | |
