Which archaeological sites, besides Keeladi, have contributed to validating Sangam texts?
Adichanallur, Korkai, Alangulam
Keeladi, located in Tamil Nadu, is a key archaeological site that has provided evidence of an urban civilisation contemporaneous with the Sangam age.
Alongside Keeladi, excavations at Adichanallur, Korkai, and Alangulam in Tamil Nadu have unearthed artefacts, pottery, and inscriptions that corroborate descriptions found in Sangam literature.
The other options list Harappan sites (Kalibangan, Mohenjo-Daro, Lothal, Dholavira, Harappa) or medieval/ancient art sites (Ajanta, Ellora, Hampi), which are unrelated to Sangam-age Tamil archaeology.
Hence, the sites that have contributed to validating Sangam texts, besides Keeladi, are Adichanallur, Korkai, and Alangulam.
