Suttukeni, named Souttoukeny in French, is a village near Katterikuppam (Tamil : காட்டேறிக்குப்பம் ) in Puducherry, in southeastern India. It is the location of a megalithic site.[1][2] It seems to have been active in trade with Arikamedu.[1] Jewellery from Suttukeny, dated to the 2nd century BCE, is on display at the Musée Guimet in Paris.[2]
