Answer:
The Correct Answer is mentioned below
Explanation:
The Painted Grey Ware culture (PGW) is an Iron Age Indian civilisation that flourished in the western Gangetic plain and the Ghaggar-Hakra valley in the Indian subcontinent, with dates ranging from c.1200 to 600–500 BCE (or 1300 to 500–300 BC). Within this region, it is the successor of the Cemetery H culture and the Black and red ware culture (BRW), and it is contemporaneous with the BRW culture's continuance in the eastern Gangetic plain and Central India.
The PGW culture is associated with village and town settlements, domesticated horses, ivory-working, and the introduction of iron metallurgy, and is characterised by a style of beautiful grey pottery decorated with geometric designs in black.
More than 1,100 PGW sites have been discovered as of 2014.
Despite the fact that the majority of PGW sites were tiny farming villages, "a few dozen" PGW sites grew as rather substantial communities that could be classified as towns, with the largest of these fortified by ditches or moats.
