More recent excavations at ancient sites in Tamil Nadu have yielded an abundance of pottery inscriptions in Tamil-Brāhmī (see Table 1.4 and Map 2). Taking into account the other major sites alone, the inscribed pottery at Uraiyur has been assigned to ca. 1st century B.C., at Kodumanal from ca. 2nd century B.C. to 2nd century A.D. and at Alagankulam from ca. 100 B.C. to 100 A.D.⁴
