Keelnamandi Archaeological Site

Keelnamandi archaeological site lies in Keelnamandi panchayat, in the Vandavasi block of Tamil Nadu. The state's Department of Archaeology excavated here between 2022 and 2024, working across an area of 55 acres.

Burial urns were found, along with pottery of the black-and-red type known to archaeologists, and the finds place the site in the Iron Age. Tests on organic material found during the dig point to a date as early as the 17th century BCE.
