The wooden hammer found at the Keeladi excavation site offers a glimpse into the everyday tools used by the ancient civilization. Unlike the more durable iron or bronze tools, this wooden hammer was likely used for lighter tasks such as carpentry, construction, or crafting household items. The handle, carved from locally sourced wood, might have been paired with a stone or metal head for added durability. This artifact highlights the resourcefulness of the people of Keeladi, demonstrating their skill in utilizing natural materials to create tools essential for daily activities.
