Tekwada, Dt Jalgaon, on the right bank of the Girna opposite the site of BAHAL. Four burials, three of them urn burials and one a pit burial, were excavated here by M.N. Deshpande of the ASI in 1956-7 (*IAR 1956-7*, p. 18). Of the urn burials one was disturbed but the other two each consisted of a large thick jar covered with a bowl. Both contained a few bones, seemingly of children; one had in addition two and the other five bowls of black-and-red ware [11.6], some of them with graffiti [20.1]. In one of the jars were found a few beads of paste, a spherical bead of carnelian and a circular tabular bead of steatite. The pit-burial, sunk deep into the yellow clay underlying the Black Cotton Soil [9.1], had the skeleton of an adult oriented n.-s., with two posts, one of fine grey ware and the other black-and-red, near its feet. These pots, together with a red-slipped globular painted in black, indicates that they belonged to Pd II B of BAHAL.
