Archaeologists are of the opinion that various earliest settlements of pre-historic India that have been unearthed represent independent cultures of their own and a classification has been made on the basis of techniques employed in pottery painting. From this is implied that these inhabitants of very early settlements were well-acquainted with the techniques related to pottery making and painting which involved the use of varied pigments for slipping and painting the clay pots.
