The Kayatha culture, discovered by Wakankar at Kayatha on the River Kalisindh, a tributary of the Chambal, is the earliest Chalcolithic culture in Central India and is radiocarbon dated between 3950 and 3750 B.P. (Fig. 1). This culture is mainly confined to the Chambal Valley, but, out of approximately 40 known sites, only Kayatha has been excavated (Ansari and Dhavalikar, 1975).
