Introduction
A.GENERALREMARKS
It is widely known that during 1940-44 when Painted Grey Ware was first identified at Ahichchhatra (V.P.), its significance and far reaching importance could not be realized and 'it was only after the excavations at Hastinapura- it got a distinct culture-label followed by considerable field work' of immense importance carried out in the following decades and more than 848 sites associated with this culture have been identified in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Prides' besides reported occurrence of the ware from Lakhiyopir (Sind, Pakistan), Harappa (Punjab, Pakistan) and Cholistan (Bahawalpur, Pakistani. From Thapli on the bank of Alaknanda, District Tehri in the Sub Himalayas in the north to Ujjain in the south, Sarcastic in the east and Gharinda? in the west appears to be the main area of Painted Grey Ware as such. However, in case associated Grey Ware is also taken into account, it could be extended up to Manda in Jammu and Kashmir. In the last five decades excavations have been carried out at Ahichchhatra, Alamgirpur? Allahpur, Atranjikhera, Bhagwanpura, Dadheri, Daulatpur, Hastinapura, Hulas, akheradhpura. Kathapalon.Mathura, Nagar, Noh, Raja Karan Ka Qila, Sanghol, Sravasti. and Ujjain. Except Bhagwanpura and Jakhera, most of the sites have been excavated in the vertical fashion giving a culture-sequence. Excavation at Alamgirpur, Hastinapura and Ropar and explorations and excavators in the valleys of Saraswati and Drishadvati in north-western Rajasthan revealed that there was a hiatus between the Harappa Culture and the Painted Grey Ware Culture in these areas. The date of Painted Grey Ware has been assigned by archaeologist between circa 1100 B.c.-SOO B.C.29 Mention may also be made that Painted Grey Ware has also been associated by archaeologists with later Aryans and the Mahabharata. This was the position when excavation was envisaged at Bhagwanpura in 1975- 76 field season.
