A pottery kiln of the Malwa period (Fig. 5) was uncovered at Inamgaon (Dist, Poona, Maharashtra). Structurally it is almost identical with that of the succeeding Jorwe period at the site which will be described later. In size, it is half of the latter. It is round (diameter, 1.55 m) with a fire chamber attached to it, and is provided with fuels for hot gas. The kiln was located in a house which could be identified as that of a potter.
