In a recent Lok Sabha session, Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat addressed concerns over delays in publishing the Keezhadi excavation report. Experts identified deficiencies in methodology and analysis during the vetting of the initial excavation seasons' findings, completed between 2014 and 2016.
The report, received by the Archaeological Survey of India in January 2023, remains under expert scrutiny to ensure academic integrity. The government emphasized that this review process is critical to upholding scholarly standards.
The Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology has continued excavations at Keezhadi since 2018, though its final report is yet to be released. These ongoing efforts highlight the site's archaeological significance and the meticulous approach to documenting its historical value.
