The site has been excavated in three stretches during 1985-86, 1989-90 and from 1996-97, first by a Tamil University team led by Subbarayalu and then by a TNSA team led by Natana Kasinathan. The excavation reports are yet to be published, though some important findings have been reported in various publications.¹ This section is mainly based on Subbarayalu's unpublished manuscripts, 'Report on Kodumanal Excavations' (1988) and 'Illustrated Catalogue of Pottery Inscriptions from Kodumanal' (1996), and a personal communication (1997) on the chronology of the site with special reference to the inscribed sherds.
