Daimabad is a deserted village and an archaeological site on the left bank of the Pravara River, a tributary of the Godavari River in Srirampur taluka in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state in India. This site was discovered by B. P. Bopardikar in 1958. It has been excavated three times so far by the Archaeological Survey of India teams. The first excavation in 1958-9 was carried out under the direction of M. N. Deshpande. The second excavation in 1974-5 was led by S. R. Rao. Finally, the excavations between 1975-6 and 1978-9 were carried out under the direction of S. A. Sali.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Excavations - Important - Maharashtra )〕 Discoveries at Daimabad suggest that Late Harappan culture extended into the Deccan Plateau in India.Daimabad is famous for the recovery of many bronze goods, some of which were influenced by the Harappan culture.〔Page-65, Book-Inida's Ancient Past by R.S.Sharma, ISBN 978-0-19-568785-9〕 ==Phases of occupation== The excavations carried out in 5 m thick occupational deposit exposed evidence of five distinct Chalcolithic cultural phases, based on their characteristic painted ceramics:〔〔 * Phase I: Savalda culture (before 2300/2200 BCE) * Phase II: Late Harappan culture (2300/2200-1800 BCE) * Phase III: Daimabad culture (black on buff/cream ware) (1800-1600 BCE) * Phase IV: Malwa culture (1600-1400 BCE) * Phase V: Jorwe culture (1400-1000 BCE). There is a break in occupation for about half-a-century between the Phase II (Late Harappan period) and Phase III (Daimabad period).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daimabad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
