Sawyerpuram is a town panchayat in Tuticorin district, Tamil Nadu, India.
Microliths are found in large in numbers around Sawyerpuram (and additionally in Kulattur, Tirunelveli). They were found embedded in the fossil-bearing sand dunes. These available evidences in Sawyerpuram point the chronology of the microlithic culture in South India to circa 4000 B.C.[1][2]
Since the missionary Dr. G. U. Pope ministered in this place, the population is predominantly Christian.
