There are a number of references to urn burials in Sangam poems.
Three potsherds with Tamil Brahmi inscriptions have been discovered in an urn burial site at Marungur, 17 km from Vadalur in Cuddalore district,Tamil Nadu.
The broken pots with the inscriptions were placed in urns that could have contained the bodies of the dead or their bones. “This is the first time that such inscribed pots, with Tamil Brahmi letters, placed as grave goods in urn burials, have been recovered from any archaeological site in Tamil Nadu. This opens a new chapter in archaeological research in the State,” say three specialists in Tamil Brahmi inscriptions. They are K. Rajan, professor of History, Pondicherry University; Y. Subbarayalu, head, Indology, French Institute of Pondicherry; and V. Vedachalam, retired senior epigraphist, Tamil Nadu Archaeology Department.

We will post one more question here
Otherwise, our people will not accept.....
{They will claim that we are insulting other languages leading to another war!!}.
Here are the comments of Iravatham Mahadevan, an expert on the Tamil Brahmi inscriptions and the Indus script:
“As regards the inscriptions published in The Hindu, I confirm that they are in Tamil language and written in the Tamil Brahmi script, which was the Tamil script of the Sangam age. The two inscriptions, especially the one published on the right [reading “a-ti-y(a)-ka-n], may even be dated to second century B.C.”
