*Repertoire of a smith/smithy at Adichanallur and at Jiroft*

 

 

 

Two series of epigraphs are presented: one is a potsherd from a

funerary urn

at Adichanallur; the other are a set of epigraphs on stone vessels at

Jiroft. Both series are relatable to Sarasvati hieroglyphs (

http://spaces.msn.com/members/sarasvati97) Both the series are

relatable to

the continuum of rebus writing system using glyphs to denote property

items,

metals, minerals, alloys, furnaces, in particular â€" all products and

possessions of a smithy or mint.

 

 

 

The glyphs in the two series are: quiver (with arrows), bird; woman;

antelope; monitor lizard

This a potsherd from a burial urn containing bones. At this site,

remains of

living quarters (rampart wall, potters' kilns, a smith's shop) have

been

found.

 

 

 

It is reasonable to assume that this potsherd from the funerary urn is

relatable to the smith. If the assumption is valid, the glyphs

depicted on

the potsherd may relate to the repertoire of the smithy or the

property

items owned by the smith or the professions performed by the smith.

The

epigraph found on a potsherd is a remarkable evocation of Sarasvati

hieroglyphs. The glyphs included in this epigraph are: bird, stack of

paddy, woman, antelope, alligator or lizard.

 

 

 

The photo with vases and cups discovered at Jiroft depicts: antelope,

tiger

fighting snakes, two tigers face to face. All these are Sarasvati

hieroglyphs ! I am sure there would also be artefacts related to early

metalwork. It will be nice to access additional info.on:

(Meluhha)

related to smithy, mint are at

http://spaces.msn.com/members/sarasvati97

 

It has been demonstrated that the Adichanallur picture of a potsherd

from a

funerary urn is also related to smithy; all glyphs are Sarasvati

hieroglyphs: sheaf of paddy, bird, woman, antelope and lizard

(alligator?)

 

 

 

Megalithic sites in Bharat

 

 

 

Adichchanallur, (ca. 1st cent. BCE) has yielded bronze bowls, pots,

highly

ornamental cylindrical jars and a huge bronze vase stand decorated

with four

rams having long horns which radiate from the centre of the vase base.

(Alexander Rea*, Catalogue of the Prehistoric Antiquities from

Adichchanallur and Perumbalur*, Madras Government Museum, Madras,

1915).

Vijaya Ramaswamy notes: "The *perumpanattrupadai* describes the kollan

(blacksmith) blowing the bellows made of fine animal skin.

(*Perumpanattrupadai

*199-200 and 206 in *Pathupattu *ed. P.V. Somasundaranar, Saiva

Siddhanta

Kazhagam, Tirunelveli, 1971).The Jain religious epic *Perungadai

*uses the

burning of raw metal in the furnace as a poetic metaphor for mental

purification. (*Perungadai *cited in S. Velusami, 'Tamil Nagarigattil

Irumbin Pangu' (in Tamil) in R. Nagasamy ed., *Tamil Nattu Varalattru

Karutharang, *Varalattru Peravai, Chennai, 1979, p. 201.)The raw iron

mixed

with sand was heated along with coal. The sand used in the smelting

process

was of a special variety."

 

"Among the artefacts discovered at the burial site were a profusion

of red

ware, black ware, black-and-red ware, copper bangles, copper ear-

rings, iron

spear-heads, terracotta lids with tiered knobs, terracotta vessels

that

could be used both as lids and as bowls, globular vessels and long-

necked

utensils. There were vases, pots with exquisite decorations, broken

daggers

and swords made of iron. There were also Neolithic celts, iron

implements,

urns with clan marks and urns with hooks inside…Three copper

bangles and

some copper chisels were also found at the site. Outside, around the

urns,

were bigger pots, which were red ware. Iron implements, knives,

daggers,

spearheads and Neolithic celts used in farming were found around the

urns.

Some pots rested on ring stands of different shapes. The lids came in

different shapes - conical, globular, and so on. More than a thousand

pot-vessels were unearthed intact. Lots of terracotta beads in

conical shape

and hop-scotches were found…Satyamurthy called the Adichanallur

burial site

"the earliest site in Tamil Nadu" and was sure that its history would

go

back to 1,000 B.C. "In our excavation, we have come across a culture

earlier

to the megalithic period. It is a well-stratified culture. The

pottery is

typologically different from that of megalithic pottery," he said.

(According to archaeologists, the Iron Age in South India stretched

between

1,000 B.C. and 300 B.C. The Iron Age and the megalithic age were

contemporaneous in South India. The Iron Age signifies the beginning

of

civilisation)."

http://www.flonnet.com/fl2213/stories/20050701000106500.htm

 

"Adichanallur, District Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu: The excavation at this

megalithic burial site yielded three phases of urn burials confined

to a

single cultural horizon and revealed more than 160 urns within an

area of

600 square meters. Apart from a significant number of skeletal

remains,

pottery assemblage comprising black-and-red ware, black ware and red

ware

was also recovered. Besides, iron objects including spearherads,

swords,

knives, celts and chisels, copper bangles, terracota and stone beads,

etc.

were duly documented."

http://indiaculture.nic.in/indiaculture/pdf/Annual0405.pdf

 

Vijaya Ramaswamy further observes: "It is noteworthy that iron and

bronze

melting techniques in South India have shown a remarkable degree of

continuity. Hamilton Buchanan, writing around 1800, describes iron

and steel

smelting at Chennimalai in Salem district in an almost identical

manner and

says that the special sand was obtained from Viracholapuram in

Gangeyam

district. Iron was then sold in the form of blocks or steel frames.

See

Buchanan, Hamilton, Francis, *A Journey from **Madras** Through the

Countries of Mysor, Canara and Malabar,* 2 vols., London, 1807. The

section

on mining in the Salem district in volume one contains the above

information."

"They recently discovered the oldest known commercial seal,

estimated to be

about 5000 years old, at the historical site of Jiroft. The seal,

which

bears the image of a goat with its head leaning back, was discovered

near

the governmental structure of the site during the third stage of

excavations.The 2x2cm marble seal was skillfully made, indicating

that the

region was a developed economic center 5000 years ago." This is a

claim

made in this news report. While a detailed report and a replica of

the seal

is awaited, the fact that the glyph is goat with its head leaning

back

shows two things: 1. that the goat could be read as

ran:ku 'antelope';

rebus: 'tin (ore)'; 2. that the leaning back of the head could be

read as

krammara 'head turned back'; rebus: karma_ra 'smith'.

 

 

Another report says that the glyph is "a goat with the head turned

around

to look back." http://www.iran-daily.com/1383/2185/html/art.htm

orthography of an

antelope looking backwards is repeated on anumber of inscriptions,

including

the one found on a s'ankha seal atBet Dwaraka.

Iranian archaeologist Yusef Majidzadeh believes that Jiroft is the

ancient

city of Aratta, which was described as a great civilization in an

Iraqi

clay inscription. See also:

"Jiroft Inscription", Oldest Evidence of Written Language

Jan 12, 2006

 

 

 

 

 

Studies by five linguists from the United States, France, Russia,

Denmark,

and Iran on a discovered inscription in Jiroft indicate that this

Elamit

script is 300 years older than that of the great civilization of Susa.

Archeologists believe that Jiroft was the origin of Elamit written

language

in which the writing system developed first and was then spread

across the

country and reached Susa. The discovered inscription of Jiroft is the

most

ancient written script found so far.

 

The city of Jiroft is situated close to Halil Rud historical site.

Halil

Rud, located on the basin of Halil Rood River enjoyed a rich

civilization.

Many stone and clay objects as well as other historical evidence

belonging

to the third millennium BC have been discovered during the

archeological

excavations and also the illegal diggings by the smugglers in this

area. 120

historical sites, including that of Jiroft, have been identified in

the

basin of the 400 kilometer length of Halil Rud River.

 

According to archeological studies, the history of Halil Rud area

goes back

to some 3000 years ago. The discovered stone dishes in the area

belonging to

the first half of the third millennium BC point to the developed art

of

carving on stones at that time.

 

"Five Elamit professional linguists from different countries have

studied

the brick inscription discovered in Jiroft. According to the studies,

they

have concluded that this discovered inscription is 300 years older

than that

found in Susa; and most probably the written language went to Susa

from this

region. However, more studies are still needed to give a final

approval to

this thesis," said Yousof Majid Zadeh, head of archeological

excavation team

in Jiroft.

 

"This inscription was discovered in a palace. Although it is not yet

known

which Elamit king this inscription belongs to, it is definitely an

Elamit

inscription. More studies are needed to determine the exact time in

which it

was inscribed, but most probably it is the most ancient written

language.

Further excavations are being carried out to find the rest of the

inscription. However, what is obvious about this discovered

inscription is

that it is older than the Elamit inscription of Susa," explained

Majidzadeh.

 

 

 

 

The inscription was carved on a brick, and only the lower left corner

of it

has been remained. Although only two lines with a few words are

remained

intact on this inscription, there is no doubt that it is an Elamit

written

script.

 

The most famous Elamit script is the Susinak inscription which was

unearthed

during archeological excavations in Susa. This inscription is most

probably

left from the reign of Susinak, Elamite king who ruled during the

second

half of the first millennium BC. .

 

Elamit language is only partly understood by scholars. It had no

relationship to Sumerian, Semitic or Indo-European languages, and

there are

no modern descendants of it. After 3000 BC the Elamits developed a

semi-pictographic writing system called Proto-Elamit. Later the

cuneiform

script was introduced.

 

Archeological excavations are being carried out in north and south

shores of

the Halil Rud River in order to discover different dwellings and

cemeteries

in the region.

The wide plundering of the historical and archeological relics by the

smugglers led to the lost of a lot of these invaluable evidences.

Most of

these historical relics were taken out of the country. Although Iran

is

trying to redeem them, some of those who have collected these relics

refuse

to give them back claiming that these articles were not made in Iran

and

thus don't belong to this country. Iranian archeologists are trying to

discover more evidence to prove Iran's possession over these

historical

objects.

Woman, tiger, smithy (forge): kol

 

 

 

This is a pan-bharatiya lexeme with three meanings, confirming the

Proto-vedic continuity theory for Bharatiya languages. The roots may

lie in

mleccha (meluhha) composed of substrates: Nahali (kol 'woman') and

Santali

(kul 'tiger'; kol 'smelter').

 

 

 

Three terra cotta objects that combine human and animal features.

These

objects may have been used to tell stories in puppet shows or in

ritual

performances.

 

On the left is a seated animal figurine with female head. The manner

of

sitting suggests that this may be a feline, and a hole in the base

indicates

that it would have been raised on a stick as a standard or puppet.

The head

is identical to those seen on female figurines with a fan shaped

headdress

and two cup shaped side pieces. The choker with pendant beads is also

common

on female figurines. http://www.harappa.com/indus/88.html
