Practicing Success
The following excerpt is from the "Periplus of the Erythraean Sea," written by an anonymous Greek sailor around the first century CE: |
Where has the archaeological evidence of a bead-making industry been found? |
Kodumanal Erythraean Sea Malabathrum Market-towns |
Kodumanal |
Archaeological findings indicate a bead-making industry using precious and semi-precious stones discovered in Kodumanal (Tamil Nadu). It is highly probable that local traders transported the stones mentioned in the Periplus from places like Kodumanal to the coastal ports for trade and export. |
