**Pabumath** (23°37'; 70°31'), Dt Kutch. Fairly high mound yielding Harappa [11.3] red buff, black-painted red ‘reserved slip’ and coarse red wares. Both in shape and in painted designs, the pottery shows similarities with RANGPUR II A, II B and II C. Three varieties of ‘reserved slip’ ware were found: (i) painted in black over dark-grey slipped surface, (ii) painted in red over a light-red surface, and (iii) painted in chocolate over light-grey surface. Sherds of coarse black-painted red ware, akin to the Rang Mahal Ware [11.24], and red-slipped cream ware were also met with. *IAR 1965-6. Purātattva*, 8, 1975-6, p. 159.
