why is inamgaon regarded as an important ancient site
Answers
Answer:
An ancient site, measuring approximately 550 metres (1,800 ft) by 430 metres (1,410 ft), is located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Inamgaon.
There are five mounds at the site. The largest mound is called 'Inamgaon I', and it has been extensively excavated, and studied for its archaeological finds.[3] The site was occupied between 3800-3200 B.P. (calibrated), or 1800-1200 BC.
The Chalcolithic settlement was excavated in order to better understand the early and later Jorwe culture.[4] There are 3 phases of the Chalcolithic that are found at Inamgaon.
The excavation was a landmark in India's archaeology history due to its extensive and systematic process.[2] The excavations revealed multiple cultural phases including Late Jorwe Culture, Early Jorwe Culture, and Malwa Culture. Archaeology findings are available at different museums such as Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya [5]
