Abstract : Paiyampalli is a small village in Tirupattur taluk of present-day Tirupattur district (formerly part of Vellore / North Arcot district), Tamil Nadu, situated about five kilometres east of Barugur and eight kilometres west of Natrampalli on the Bengaluru– Chennai trunk route. The site is archaeologically significant as one of the few stratified habitation-cumburial locations in northern Tamil Nadu that preserve an unbroken cultural sequence from the Neolithic through the Megalithic Iron Age. Excavations conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India under the direction of H. D.
