Description
This paper is intended to evaluate one of the major research problems in Kerala Archaeology, the absence of a habitation site in the Megalithic (Iron Age Early Historic period) context. Although a number of Megalithic sites have been reported from Kerala, the absence of habitation remains as a lacuna to understand the entire cultural processes of this period. Recent investigations conducted in the eastern fringes of Kerala brought to light habitation evidences associated with burials. This paper discusses problems and misconceptions related to the Megalithic habitation in Kerala on the basis of recent discoveries.
