Thiruvananthapuram: If archaeological findings are anything to go by, Pattanam in Ernakulam district may just be the oldest port site in the Indian Ocean rim with links to ancient Rome.
The third phase of the three-year-old archeological excavations conducted by the Kerala Council of Historical Research (KCHR) have unearthed a variety of tangible evidence.
“We discovered semi-precious stones, copper coins, iron, copper, tin and gold artefacts, terracotta lamps, etc.” says P. J. Cherian, director, KCHR. Pattanam excavations have also unearthed evidence of the site’s trade relations with West Asia even predating the Roman connections.

 We have no indications how the site declined and the port disappeared. Geomorphic studies indicate Pattanam 2,000 years back was some sort of riverine island with water bodies crisscrossing it. The usual flood theory was propounded but is inconclusive. However, many water channels are incapable of surviving beyond a few centuries because of silting. Modern Kochi port survives on dredging. Annual flooding might have pushed silt away at Pattanam for a long period and then stopped around 5th century.
