Archaeology became an important subject, increasingly realized by the European and Indian Scholars in the 20th Century. It received greater attention after the foundation of the Asiatic society of Bengal in 1784. The archaeological exploration at Pallavaram near Madras had increased the knowledge of the archaeologist on the stone age culture. They explored further to prove the stone age settlement in and around Madras. Number of other scientific excavations conducted in Tamil Nadu by the archaeologist brought to light the gradual growth of early historic culture from the stone age culture
