About 66 fragmentary pottery inscriptions have been found at Arikamedu from different excavations.³ Most of them are in Tamil, but a few are also in Prakrit and Sinhala-Prakrit languages.⁴ The inscriptions may be assigned to dates between ca. 2nd century b.c. and 3rd century a.d. mainly on palaeographic evidence.
