2. Chronicle - A narrative text presenting the important historical events.
3. Pastoralism- Nomadic people earning livelihood by rearing cattle.
4. Cameo- Ornament made in precious stone.
5. Arikkamedu - A Sangam Age port
Notes:
1. Inscriptions are also called epigraphs. Therefore, it’s named Epigraphy.
3. The word pastoralism has probably been derived from pastures which mean the grasslands where these people grazed their cattle.
4. It is an ornament made by carving a precious stone.
5. Fun Fact: Arrikamedu was earlier termed as a Roman city by the historians but later it was found that the Roman artefacts found there were because of the trade with Roman Empire through that port.
