**Patharaha**, Dt Mirzapur. A mound of the river Koi yielded sherds of black-and-red ware, Black-slipped Ware [11.13] and plain red ware. In this assemblage the NBPW [11.16] is absent. The site therefore seems to represent a transitional stage between the Chalcolithic cultures of the Vindhyas [4.14.2] on the one hand and that associated with the NBPW [4.18.1] of the Ganga plains on the other.
