Pattanam Archaeological Research

25/04/2026

Dear friends,

The below article was shared by PAMA friend Dr. Prabhakar, neurologist and cognitive neuroscientist from CMC Vellore, along with his reflection. Thank you, dear Prabha.

We share this scientific article at a time when our “WhatsApp cosmos” rarely allows us even a passing glance. Hence this brief reflection.

The study shows that human ancestors (Homo erectus) were already present in East Asia around 1.77 million years ago—much earlier than previously confirmed. This suggests that early humans moved across vast landscapes faster and more widely than we once imagined. They were adaptable, exploratory, and closely connected to changing environments.

In simple terms:
Human history is older, wider, and more interconnected than we thought.

Second, we bring this insight closer to our own ground.

If we look at Pattanam, about 2,000 years ago, we see another moment of human connectivity—this time across oceans. A place where cultures met, exchanged, and lived with a certain balance. What we describe as Sramana priorities—humility, inner truth, universal affection, and critical reasoning (AUPP)—may not have been abstract ideals, but lived practices within such interconnected worlds.

Between 2016 and 2026, Pattanam—this rare research into a connected past—remained largely frozen. Not by natural causes, but through probably unilateral decisions and inattention.

For KN, who stood for intellectual autonomy and the balancing of Sramana values it was his darkest decade in life. He genuinely at times only regretted on his decision to shift to Kerala.

With AUPP,
PAMA

With the discovery of three almost complete Homo erectus crania, Yunxian is one of the most important early Pleistocene
hominin sites in eastern Asia. Yet, the age of the Yunxian fossils has remained debated because of the lack
of reliable numerical dating results. Here, we apply the well-­ established isochron 26Al/10Be burial dating to quartz
gravels from two sediment layers of the site. The age results push the Yunxian crania back to 1.77 ± 0.08 million
years ago (±1σ internal error), representing the oldest H. erectus fossils discovered in situ in eastern Asia. A much
older age assignment to Yunxian supports the model of rapid dispersal and widespread distribution of early H.
erectus and contributes to narrowing the chronological gap between the earliest archaeology and hominin pale-
ontology in eastern Asia.

INTRODUCTION
The oldest Homo erectus fossils in Asia now date to 1.78 to 1.85 million
years (Ma) at Dmanisi in Georgia. However, east of Georgia, the age
of the oldest H. erectus fossils in eastern Asia continues to be de-
bated (1, 2). For instance, given questions about context, the early
H. erectus fossils from the Sangiran Dome in Indonesia have long
been contested with ages ranging from 1.66 Ma to >1.51 Ma and
then to ~1.3 Ma (3–5). Dates for proposed “early” sites in China have
also been debated. Traditionally, there have been two sites considered
to have the oldest H. erectus fossils: Yuanmou and Gongwangling.
Now, Yuanmou is considered slightly older with recently proposed
dates based on 26Al/10Be burial dating analysis, placing the deposits
at 1.72 Ma (6). A thorn in the side of the Yuanmou site, however, is
the fact that the two H. erectus upper incisors were apparently surface
collected (1, 2, 7–9). This lack of context of the Yuanmou fossils is
problematic given that the recent dating reconstruction is, otherwise,
considered robust. Fortunately, the Gongwangling H. erectus crani-
um does not suffer from this problem as it was discovered in situ. In
the case of Gongwangling, the fossil was initially dated to ~1.15 Ma
(10) and more recently to ~1.63 Ma by studying the paleomagnetism
of the loess-­ paleosol sequence (11). This more recent age was sup-
ported by 26Al/10Be burial dating (12) and is the now accepted age for
the Gongwangling H. erectus fossil.
Nevertheless, the age of the oldest hominin fossils in eastern Asia
remains a point of major debate, particularly given that a number of
Early Pleistocene hominin fossil sites exist. Further, the earliest ar-
chaeological traces, as represented by Xihoudu [~2.4 Ma; (13)] and

Shangchen [~2.1 Ma; (14)], actually predate the Gongwangling dates
by some 800,000 years. Identifying and reliably dating additional
in situ hominin fossils may help close this chronological gap. Here,
we present an isochron 26Al/10Be burial dating analysis of the Yunxian
H. erectus site and conclude that the artifact and hominin fossil–
bearing layer can be securely dated to ~1.77 Ma. This age for Yunxian
is particularly important given that there are no questions about the
context of the site and fossils unlike the well-­ known case of Yuanmou,
but yet it is clearly older than Gongwangling.
Yunxian is well-­ known for the in situ discovery of three fairly intact
H. erectus crania. Because of the severe deformation of two of them
(EV9001 and EV9002) due to sediment compaction, it has been diffi-
cult to determine the full extent of their morphological variation
(Fig. 1C) (15–17). A number of studies have suggested that they dif-
fer markedly from the Zhoukoudian Locality 1 H. erectus crania
(15, 16, 18–20). Renewed recent fieldwork at the site has resulted in the
discovery of a third fairly intact hominin cranium, ~33 to 35 m away
from the first two crania (21–23). We await a detailed morphometric
analysis of this fossil that is reported to be better preserved and more
intact than EV9001 and EV9002 and to come from the same sediment
layer as the two previous ones (22, 23). More than 500 artifacts, typical
of the Early Paleolithic (cores, choppers, and flakes produced on lo-
cally available quartzite), were excavated from the site (15, 22, 23).
The associated mammalian fossils from Yunxian are typical
Stegodon-
­ Ailuropoda taxa from southern China (24). The absence of
clear Early Pleistocene (or older) taxa (e.g., Gomphotherium and
Hyaena licenti) suggested to the initial researchers that the Yunxian
site dates to the Middle Pleistocene, while the presence of the Early-Middle
Pleistocene Sus xiaozhu implied an early Middle Pleistocene
biochronological age (15). However, D**g (25) more recently sug-
gested that there were a number of similarities between the Yunxian
and Gongwangling faunas, which would push the former site clearly
back into the Early Pleistocene.
The first attempt to secure a narrower age range for Yunxian was
a paleomagnetic study that indicated that the main fossil/archaeology
layer antedates the Brunhes/Matuyama Boundary, with a suggested
age of 870 to 830 thousand years (ka) (26). The first attempt at radio-
metric dating was an electron spin resonance (ESR) dating analysis
of nine associated mammalian teeth that yielded a mean age of ~600 ka
(27). Later, on the basis of paleomagnetic analysis of samples taken

A Complete Homo sapiens: Balanced

A remembrance of K. N. Panikkar*

Historian and public intellectual KN, as he was affectionately called by friends and colleagues, passed away yesterday. His full name was Kandiyur Narayana Panikkar. Those who knew him closely may wonder whether he left life in the quiet way that scholars such as Dharmananda Kosambi once did—with a kind of inner resolve that only a few seem capable of.

Panikkar was born ninety years ago near Guruvayoor, the youngest and ninth child of Krishnan Nair and Ichykuttiamma. His father died when he was still an infant. The responsibility of raising the family fell largely on his mother, whose determination, together with the care of elder siblings, ensured that the youngest son received an education that would shape his life. Soon after completing his master’s degree in Rajasthan, he entered teaching and research—a vocation he continued until his last days.

I first met him in 1984 at his family quarters at Jawaharlal Nehru University, when he accepted me as his PhD Teacher Fellow. It was around six in the evening. Usha Chechi offered me a glass of water and asked me to wait. Soon KN appeared in a white kurta and pyjama, looking fresh after a bath. To a young visitor from a village, he seemed almost like an incarnation of someone such as Jawaharlal Nehru.

After a few simple questions—when I had arrived and where I was staying—he asked quietly, “Can I offer you a drink?” I remained silent and embarrassed. A twenty-seven-year-old villager had never encountered such hospitality. That evening began a relationship which, over time, became far deeper than an academic association. It continued almost uninterrupted until March 9 this year, when he sent me his last birthday reflections.

Our second phase of association began in 1999 when I was State Editor in the Gazetteers Department. At that time the department was being transformed from an almost obsolete colonial vestige into a new research institution: the Kerala Council for Historical Research. KN became its Honorary Chairman, and I its Chief Executive Officer.

The years that followed became a remarkable chapter in Kerala’s academic life. KCHR developed into an autonomous institution committed to original research and intellectual openness. Scholars and institutions from across the world became collaborators. One of the most visible outcomes of that collective effort was the archaeological research at the Pattanam archaeological site, associated with the ancient port of Muziris.

The challenges were formidable. At times they appeared almost insurmountable. Through those years KN remained a quiet pillar. His strength was rarely expressed through dramatic gestures. It appeared instead through patience, restraint, and a steady belief that institutions must retain their autonomy and constitutional dignity.

When circumstances later threatened that autonomy, he chose withdrawal rather than compromise. Silence became his response in a time when public discourse was increasingly loud and polarised. In such moments he reminded one of the ancient Sramana sages—those who believed that truth and integrity cannot be measured by convenience.

My third relationship with him was personal. His wife Usha Panikkar, his classmate and lifelong companion, was his greatest strength. Their daughters Ragini and Shalini, and their families, became part of a circle of warmth that extended well beyond professional life.

For nearly three decades there was hardly a day when KN and I did not meet or speak. Except on one brief occasion, I never saw him lose his imperturbable calm. I once asked his nephew, Advocate Balakrishnan, whether he had ever seen KN angry or crying. Only once, he said—when his mother passed away.

Once, KN’s nephew, Advocate Balakrishnan, asked him whom he considered the best Finance Minister of India. He was expecting the answer to be Manmohan Singh.

KN paused for a moment. Looking intently into the eyes of his eldest nephew, he reflected before answering.

Then he said quietly that his mother, Ichikutti Amma, could perhaps be considered the best finance minister—if one measured financial wisdom by how she managed the wellbeing of nine children and an extended family after the sudden death of her husband.

KN was barely a year old when his father, the only breadwinner of the family, passed away. From that moment, it was Ichikutti Amma who steered the household with remarkable care, balance, and foresight.

From 1984 until March 9, 2026, I remained almost like a shadow beside him. Even on the day when Usha Chechi died, he retained a quiet composure—a gentleness that suggested mastery over reaction and an unusual depth of inner assurance.

His intellectual core is difficult to summarise. He often described history as a site of struggle, but he never glorified the violence that frequently accompanied those struggles. His thinking balanced rational critique with humility and restraint. In that sense he resembled the older Sramana traditions—the intellectual worlds associated with the Buddha, Mahavira, and the Ajivikas—where reason, compassion, and self-discipline formed a single ethical framework.

Panikkar carried himself with a rare mixture of dignity and humility. He could withdraw when necessary, but that withdrawal was never bitterness. It was restraint. In a time increasingly shaped by ambition, spectacle, and noise, he remained largely free of pretension.

Health challenges marked his later years. Heart disease had taken several members of his family at a young age, yet he himself lived with calm discipline and without visible fear of death. Surgeries and illness were faced with patience. At times it almost seemed as if death itself hesitated before approaching him.

Those who worked with him may ask: how would he have liked to be remembered?

Perhaps not for positions held or honours received. Perhaps simply as a teacher who tried to keep history honest, institutions autonomous, and friendships humane.

For me, however, his memory remains inseparable from the work at Pattanam. Without his moral courage and quiet stewardship, the ancestors of Pattanam might never have reached the world with the dignity they deserved.

Among nearly 4.5 million terracotta fragments recovered from that site, one small inscription bears the word “Amana.” To me it evokes the spirit of the ancient Sramana traditions—a balance of four simple priorities: humility, inner truth, cosmic affection, and critical reasoning.

These four—AUPP—together form the equilibrium of a complete human being.

KN Panikkar, in his own quiet way, lived close to that balance.

A complete Homo sapiens. Balanced.

Perhaps that is the quiet lesson he leaves behind:
that scholarship without humility is incomplete,
that truth requires courage and restraint,
and that a human life finds its dignity
only when reason and affection remain in balance.

In that sense, KN was not only a historian.
He was a reminder of what a human being can become.

It was this inner balance that gave her the confidence and resilience to raise her ninth child—who later became one of the most beautiful and balanced Homo sapiens (1936–2026).

Narayanan, who lived at the entrance of PAMA’s Pattanam office, has passed away.
He was more than a neighbor — he was the quiet guardian of PAMA’s Pattanam camp office, which we symbolically call Bappukudi or Varanappally to invoke two luminous minds of the Indian subcontinent, Mahatma Gandhi and Sri Narayana Guru.

Narayanan was full of AUPP in the way he related to every Yavanar — every visitor, researcher, and traveler who came to the archaeological mound of Pattanam and PAMA. Despite living in the humblest of spaces — a single small room he shared with his wife, two children and his granddaughter — he seemed deeply balanced, as though guided by an inner compass of silence, rationality, and peace. He was a great friend and joyous presence to us.

His life was quiet but resolute, a testament to a unique autonomy and the practice of AUPP in everyday living.
Those who came to Pattanam and PAMA will remember his watchful presence. I can already imagine the silence that will descend when this news reaches everyone — especially Kevin, who shared much of the last two year’s of PAMA with him.

Many times, it was Narayanan who informed us, with simple gravity, about the passing of others in his village. Today, we receive the same news about him.

If you read this poem or the Malayalam recitation by Pandit Ramesh Narayan — though PAMA’s dear Narayanan need not — it may reflect the quiet dignity and deep mind of Narayanan, whose presence will continue to watch over Pattanam in silence.

Puranānūru 192, Poet Kaniyan Poonkundranār, Thinai: Pothuviyal, Thurai: Porunmozhi Kānji

“Every city is your city. Everyone is your kin.
Failure and prosperity do not come to you because others have sent them!
Nor do suffering and the end of suffering.
There is nothing new in death. Thinking that living is sweet, we do not rejoice in it. Even less do we say, if something unwanted happens, that to live is miserable!
Through the vision of those who have understood we know that a life, with its hardship, makes its way like a raft riding the water of a huge and powerful river roaring without pause as it breaks against rocks because the clouds crowded with bolts of lightning pour down their cold drops of the rain, and so we are not amazed at those who are great and even less do we despise the weak!”

*Final update regarding the registration for PAMA upcoming program, 'Learn Tamil Language and Sangam Culture'*

Dear Friends,

Today is the final day to register. If you’re ready to help yourself and those around you begin a journey of rediscovery and renewal, please continue reading.

We were reading Professor K.N. Panikkar’s attached article, which thoughtfully examines the roots of Kerala’s cultural degeneration. We had a discussion, and the article is attached below.

It reminded us that the essential backwardness on which Kerala society stands today is, in fact, a historical construct. We have largely lost sight of our own cultural foundations, especially the period of the Sangam Age (circa 300 BCE to 300 CE), when rational thought and harmonious living with nature were central to life.

Two major historical forces — Sanskritization, which entrenched caste divisions, and colonial modernity, which fragmented social life — gradually erased this earlier ethos.

Professor Panikkar’s conclusions offer strong support for PAMA’s efforts to form Sangam study circles among the registered participants of our upcoming online course beginning May 4, 2025. In fact, his reflections encouraged us to invite you, our friends, to register and form your own study circles. *You are welcome to do so without paying the registration fee, as a special opportunity available only today, April 30, 2025, the final day of registration.*

Professor Panikkar argues that today’s greatest challenge is not just political or economic, but deeply cultural. As caste and religious divisions, consumerism, and violence continue to spread, the need for a new cultural consciousness becomes imperative. Real transformation cannot come from surface-level responses; it requires deep engagement with the everyday habits, values, and ways of thinking that shape our collective life. He calls for intervention in culture itself, not just cultural interventions. Culture must once again become the integrating force behind all efforts for human well-being.

By forming Sangam Age study groups, we reconnect with a time when indigenous communities fostered peaceful coexistence, rational inquiry, and cosmic awareness. Rekindling that spirit may help us envision a future not driven by fear or domination, but by humility, shared humanity, and critical thinking.

*Please register using the link below only if you are willing to form a study circle that meets every Sunday from 6:30 to 8:00 am (IST), starting May 4, 2025, in your drawing room or any shared study space:*

https://pama.org.in/Announcements/LearnSangamTamil

Two PAMA friends have generously offered to cover the registration fee, provided you commit to becoming the coordinator of a small local study group. This offer is valid only for those who register today, before or by midnight (IST).

With affection,

This post is meant for those who can understand English.

No matter your age or where you live in the world, if you can make yourself available on Sunday mornings from 7 to 8 am IST, starting May 4, we invite you to register today for Learn Sangam Tamil with Ms Vaidehi Herbert. The sessions will also feature other distinguished experts including Sitabhra Sinha, Manoj Kuroor, Ragini Siruguri, Mano D, Sijuth Chandran, and more.

We understand—this may seem difficult or even unimaginable. Perhaps you’ve never considered something like this before. Your job, your retired life, your packed schedule, or your current interests may not seem to align with it. But we gently urge you to pause and make space—intentionally—to become a student once again, in this one and only life. Because this journey is not just about learning a language. It’s a way to reconnect with the life and spirit of your ancestors who lived more than two thousand years ago.

This is an opportunity to reflect on their thoughts, hopes, joys, sorrows, challenges, and struggles. It offers a chance to explore the essence of a deeply human and inclusive world—through the language and cosmopolitan culture that flourished between 300 BCE and 300 CE, when more than 40 cultures converged at a site in the Periyar delta, in today’s Ernakulam district of Kerala.

Secondly, once registered (with a single registration fee of ₹10,000), we encourage you to form a small study circle—gathering friends, family, or neighbors—at your home every Sunday morning. Only one registration is needed per group. Let your home become a humble space of learning, where the wisdom of the early generations—rooted in humility, inner truth, universal affection, and critical thinking—can quietly illuminate and perhaps reshape our outlook on life.

Let me share a memory from 2002. It was early morning in the courtyard of the British Library on Euston Road in London. If I recall correctly, the library opened at 7 am. By 6:30, the courtyard would begin to fill with people—most arriving on foot, some wheeling in their bicycles.

There, I met an 82-year-old gentleman. Until the age of 50, he had worked as a workshop technician. Encouraged by his wife and newly employed daughter, he left his job and pursued higher education in chemistry—earning a bachelor’s, master’s, and eventually a PhD. He became a university teacher and researcher. His interests eventually expanded into other fields as well. Even at 82, he would cycle 15 kilometers every day to reach the British Library by 6:30 am—sometimes even earlier.

I still remember his foldable bicycle, which he would carry like a bag into the cloakroom. Seeing my curiosity, he mentioned that the model was still available in the market, and I even went looking for one.

Thanks to my friend and philosopher Bruce Kapferrer for my BL fellowship and stay at YMCA London, 20 minutes walking distance from BL
