Parikulam is located at 4 Km from
Poondi reservoir, Tiruvallur Taluk in Tiruvallur District. The exploration in
and around this village yielded good number of Palaeolithic tools and wood
fossil from Mettupalayam, a nearby village. Based on this, a systematic
excavation was conducted here in the year 2005-2006.
Excavation at Parikulam has
revealed four stratigraphical layers and yielded various types of tools, which
exposed all three Palaeolithic periods such as Lower, Middle and Upper
Palaeolithic cultures. The unearthed tools include Hand Axes, Hammers,
Cleavers, Scrappers, Discoids, Lunates, Blades and Borers. On account of rich
yield of variety of tools from a single site, it can be ascertained that
Parikulam might have been a factory site.
பரிகுளம் பகுதியில் நடந்த அகழாய்வில், கற்கருவிகளை தயார் செய்கிற தொழில்கூடம் இருந்தது, கண்டு பிடிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இவை, இரண்டு லட்சம் ஆண்டுகள் பழமையானவை என, தெரியவந்துள்ளது.
Proud to be an Tamilan
