Trial digging revealed that the material equipment was that of a prosperous agricultural community living in a large village. It is believed to have adopted the painted pottery tradition of the post-Harappa Chalcolithic cultures of w. India \[4.14.7\] but had not yet taken kindly to the use of the potter's wheel. The perforated vessels are reminiscent of similar Harappa \[11.3\] jars. Disc beads of white steatite in the various sizes, microbeads of shell and steatite bangles show Harappa affinities. The present evidence suggests a date ranging from 1600 to 1400 B.C. Other sites in the Dt yielding painted pottery and Neolithic implements in large quantities are: Ramapuram, Patapadu, Sivavaram and Pusalapadu. - [Previous: v2.c45.686](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.686) - [Next: v2.c45.688](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.688) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.687](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.687) · Pramāṇa
