摘要

During a recent geo-archaeological exploration and excavation conducted in October 2001 by the first author at Odai, besides finding Mesolithic and Upper Palaeolithic artifacts from stratified fluvial and aeolian deposits, a well-fossilized human skull was discovered from within the ferricrete. The site is located about 1 km inland from the coast and 2 km south of the Pondicherry border near Bommayarpalayam at an altitude of 15 m above the sea-level (Figure 1). At the site there are aeolian and fluvial deposits from the surface down to 5.7 m. Five layers of aeolian sand and four layers of sand and gravel of varying thickness are seen intermittently. Below 5.7 m depth the ferricrete begins and it continues downward. At about 1.5 m depth in ferricrete cutting, a small part of fossilized material was seen on 14 October 2001 at 12:45 pm. Since the ferricrete at the site is quite hard, it was impossible to extricate the fossil from the matrix. Close examination of the fossil revealed that it would be detrimental to remove the surrounding laterite.
