Geography
Country: India

State: Gujarat


Coordinate: 21° 41' N, 72° 42' E
Coordinate basis: stated in text

Time interval: Holocene

Section: 3232

Unit number: 2

Unit order: below to above

Max Ma: 0.00145

Min Ma: 0.00095

Age basis: zone

Geography comments: contextual information is given by Allchin and Joshi (same volume):
"on the south bank of the Tapri river near Dumas in District Surat"
coordinate is stated incorrectly as 21º 71' N, 72º 42' E; this apparently means 21º 41' N based on the coordinate of the town of Malvan
"Period I was essentially a post-Harappan, Chalcolithic occupation, and Period II consisted of a group of pits and hearths associated with some sort of a temporary occupation of later times"
Period I dates "from between circa 1400 and 1000 B.C."; there is a radiocarbon date on charcoal of "2675 ± 90 (2750 ± 95 B.P." (meaning unclear) that is interpreted as "indicating the date at which the filling of the trench has more or less complete"
Period II yielded "grey to black pottery" that "probably dates from the end of the first millenium A.D."

Environment
Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation

Archaeology: bone tools,ceramics,hearths

Habitat comments: structures and artifacts are discussed by Allchin and Joshi:
"The principal structural feature of Period I was a ditch" of 18.30 m, and "To the south of the ditch a number of post-holes were dug"
Period I yielded "a large amount of pottery... and a diminuitive blade industry... A number of small objects of copper... terracotta objects... A small number of beads"
there are bone tools in both intervals
