The site was excavated in 1950-1 by the Deccan College Research Inst. under H.D. Sankalia. The excavation revealed it to be a single-culture site of the Deccan Chalcolithic \[4.14.6\] complex. Owing to the limited nature of the dig, the cultural equipment was scanty. Predominant was the painted black-on-red pottery, identified here for the first time and hence designated as the Jorwe Ware \[11.11\]. The pottery is wheel-made, slipped and painted in black, the designs being mainly geometric. The shapes are utilitarian and comprise: the carinated bowl with rounded base; bowl with inturned sides; bowl with flaring or vertical sides; shouldered, globular jar; funnel-necked, wide-mouthed carinated vessel with a funnel-spout; cup; shallow dish; small basin; and lid. Associated with this are decorated and plain wares. Certain shapes are unique, e.g. rimless bowl with a funnel-spout, the lid-\*cum\*-dish and the tiered pot or ring-stand. Some bowls and carinated jars have painted and scratched graffiti \[20.1\]. Other antiquities include a bead of chalcedony, six axes of copper and a bangle and microliths including flakes, cores, blades, lunates, obliquely retouched blades and parallel-sided blades. - [Previous: v2.c36.393](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.393) - [Next: v2.c36.395](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.395) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.394](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.394) · Pramāṇa
