- Readers of Sangam Tamil poetry and historical place-names
- Worth noticing
- The preview has six poems; the site describes a full corpus of 2,381 and keeps tiṇai as a poem filter, not a mapped region.
Field notes
The method separates a place-name, its candidate locations, and the poems and scholars supporting each identification. The homepage says the map avoids modern borders and uses terrain and water; it also identifies its text, data, code, basemap, and shoreline sources. The six-poem preview is presented as a subset of a stated 2,381-poem corpus, while the gazetteer and poem summaries remain pending external scholarly review.
