[2] Discoveries at Daimabad suggest that Late Harappan culture extended into the Deccan Plateau in India.

The excavation yielded copper-bronze rings, beads of shell, terracotta, carnelian and agate, microliths, tanged arrowheads of bone and stone mullers and querns.

The ware of this phase was of medium-to-coarse fabric, made on slow wheel and treated with a thick slip showing crackles and turned light-brown, chocolate, red and pink in colour.

A mud-brick lined grave was found within the occupational deposit, consisting of a skeleton laid out in an extended position.

The body seems to have been originally covered with reeds of fibrous plants, the fibres of which were found sticking to the skeleton.

The most significant discoveries from this phase were two terracotta button-shaped seals with Harappan writings and four inscribed potsherds.

[1][2] The typical pottery of this phase was a black-on-buff-and-cream ware, mainly a slow-wheel-made ceramic, fast-wheel-turned examples.

It was treated on the outside with thin slip, flaked off at places, and was painted in black with chiefly geometric designs.

Microlithic blades, bone tools, a single piece of worked elephant tusk, beads and a couple of fragments of graduated terracotta rings used perhaps as the measuring devices are the significant finds from this phase.

The artifacts found from this phase included microliths, copper objects, beads and terracotta figurines.

A cylinder seal of terracotta depicting a scene of procession through forest, a horse-drawn cart, followed by a deer looking majestically at the back and in front an animal with a long neck, probably a camel was also found.

[1][2] The most interesting discovery from the site is a hoard of four bronze objects by a local farmer, Chhabu Laxman Bhil, in 1974.

On the basis of the circumstantial evidence, M. N. Deshpande, S. R. Rao and S. A. Sali are of view that these objects belong to the Late Harappan period.

But on the basis of analysis of the elemental composition of these artifacts, D. P. Agarwal concluded that these objects may belong to the historical period.
