Keezhadi Excavation site is located in the south of Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers in Tamil Nadu, India. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) retrieved a lot of artifacts like dice, pottery items, gold coins etc which belongs to the Sangam Period (3rd century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D.) in Southern India. The major geo-archaeological techniques examined in the present study are: 1) discovering archaeological sites and documenting their internal structures, 2) surveying site formation and disturbance processes, 3) analyzing soils and sediments, 4) paleo-environmental reconstruction and the impact of humans (anthropogenic) on the landscape, 5) physical analysis of archaeological materials and 6) integrating geo-archaeology with social archaeology.
