Jorwe culture

A Chalcolithic culture of the Deccan in Maharashtra, named after the village of Jorwe. Over 200 settlements are known, from farming villages to herders' camps; the largest, Daimabad, had a mud wall.

Its people grew barley, wheat, millets and pulses, and made red pottery painted in black. Its villages suggest chiefdoms rather than states.
