Kottapuram Excavations: Visit of the Portugal Ambassador to India
Jenee Peter participated in the discussions and open forum held at Kottapuram Fort, Kodungallur, Kerala on 23rd
September 2011. The session was in connection with the visit of the
Portugal Ambassador to India Dr Jorge Roza de Oliveira. The meeting was
in attendance of Prof K.S Mathew, Dr Hemachandran, Muziris heritage
project and Kottapuram excavations team members, Kerala state department
of Archaeology officials and the media. An exhibition was held in the
site I connection to the visit. Dr Roza was delighted when Mr. Benny
Kuriakose and Prof Mathew pointed out that the Malayalam has more than
400 loan words from Portuguese while Goa which was held till 1974 and
seen as the headquarters of the Portuguese empire in the Indies has just
five loan words. The oft repeated word in contemporary documents is
boss signifying a hegemonic relationship with the natives perhaps.
The visit was followed by a detailed visit of the recently excavated trenches in the site and brain storming. Dr Jenee is archaeological consultant for Kottapuram excavations.
