                          \nCollect information from Newspapers about archaeological finds with the help your teacher.
                          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                          (i) An archaeological site is a place where evidence of past activity is preserved.<\/p>\n

                          (ii) Archaeological theory is used to interpret the archaeological record for a better understanding of human culture.<\/p>\n

                          (iii) The archaeological record can consist of the earliest ancient findings as well as contemporary artefacts. For example \u2018The Hindu\u2019 dated August 10, 2017, published the information about Azhagankulam site. New finds link Azhagankulam site to Sangam Era. 12,000 artefacts unearthed so far; Archaeologists believe excavation could throw up more surprises. The excavation at Azhagankulam in the Vaigai River Valley show that the site could date back to the Sangam Age, quite like the archaeological site at Keezhadi in Sivaganga district.<\/p>\n

                          (iv) Another example: Hindustan Times dated June 28, 2016. Archaeologists and Researchers have unearthed the crumbling remains of an ancient urban centre, equal in size and importance of that of Mohenjodaro. Keezhadi is a small village that lies past an unmanned railway crossing, several stretches of paddy fields and swaying palms in the Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu, 12 kms from the city of Madurai.<\/p>\n
