Ochre Coloured Pottery culture (with the Copper Hoards)

A Bronze Age culture of the upper Ganga-Yamuna doab, eastern Punjab, Haryana and north-eastern Rajasthan, named after its orange-red pottery that rubs off on the fingers. It overlaps with the Late Harappans and is linked to hoards of copper weapons and tools.

The cemetery of Sinauli, with its wheeled carts, belongs to it. It was followed by the Painted Grey Ware culture.
