Bengal, has yielded a rich crop of Chalcolithic \[4.14.4\] pottery including white-painted black-and-red ware \[11.6.5\], microliths and a number of other antiquities from the eroded banks of the Rupnarayan river up to a distance of about 16 km from the town. The finds, now preserved in the Tamralipta Museum, include carnelian intaglios with non-Indian motifs and a unique bone harpoon, unilaterally barbed, which, in the n. Indian context, is assignable to the early part of the second millennium B.C. or earlier. - [Previous: v2.c46.86](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.86) - [Next: v2.c46.88](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.88) - [Up: v2.c46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.87](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.87) · Pramāṇa
