It is Chalcolithic \[4.14.5\] in character and is marked by massive structures of mud and mud brick, most of them residential, though one may be a rampart bastion. It has black-painted red pottery, microliths and a limited quantity of copper. The pottery is red or cream, almost invariably with paintings in red on the exterior, the designs comprising horizontal bands, the intervening space sometimes filled with various designs, concentric semicircles, connected loops, vertical or horizontal wavy lines, radiating lines, filled or hatched triangles, single or double sun symbol and animals like antelope, spotted deer and peacock. A black-and-cream ware, also painted, and a crude grey ware are also present. The stone tools comprise parallel-sided blades produced by the crested-ridge technique and are sometimes serrated. The other finds are stone sling balls or pounders, terracotta beads, whorls \[6.25\] and animal and human figurines, including a fiddle-shaped one \[17.2\]. The Pd thus partakes of the characteristics of the c. Indian Chalcolithic culture, though definite comparative stratigraphy has yet to be worked out. It should however be noted that the white-slipped ware of NAVDATOLI and the typical Jorwe Ware \[11.11\] are absent. Towards the end of the Pd a sturdy and well-fired pale-red and a creamy-slipped ware usually painted in black but sometimes alternately with black and red is met with. - [Previous: v2.c40.75](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.75) - [Next: v2.c40.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.77) - [Up: v2.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40) ## Linked texts (1) - [Navdatoli](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.navdatoli) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.76](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.76) · Pramāṇa
