P.J.Cherian says Three Iron Tools from Pattanam Amaze the World

P.J.Cherian states that three  iron tools - an axe, a knife and few nails- excavated from Pattanam " have amazed the world "(Journal of Indian Ocean Archaeology no 6, 2009-2010; KCHR Annual Report 2009-2010). Cherian thinks three iron  tools have been excavated for the first time in the history of Indian and world archaeology. He does not  know perhaps  that many ordinary megalithic sites of kerala have yielded much more iron tools  than Pattanam.Such bombastic statements are made to catch public attention.
