The best varieties of the ware have been located in Kalibangan I dated 2900 BC. This site in Rajasthan situated on the left bank of the now dried up river Ghaggar or Sarasvati showed six varieties of Sothi ware and use of white (called ‘Sothi’) paint and lime plaster. Bangles of copper, terracotta and shell, and beads made of agate, carnelian, shell and copper have been found. An axe, a parasu and more than a hundred copper artefacts of Rajasthan origin have been found.
