Archaeology[edit]

The Chalcolithic and Indo-Roman Archaeological site of Nevasa is located on the banks of the Pravara River in the Ahmadnagar District. In 1956 some thirty urn burials and one earth burial were excavated at the Ladmod mound. The Chalcolithic burials dating 1500 to 1000 B.C. and the Indo-Roman burials dating 50 B.C. to 200 A.D. (Kennedy and Malhotra, 1966). Later excavations in 1959-1960 and 1960-1961 unearthed more human remains, totaling sixty six burials (Kenndy and Malhotra, 1966). Additionally, the site also contained pottery and mud brick structures from the early historical period of Northern Polished Ware culture (Indian Archaeology, 1993). Along with stone axes and stone anvils excavated by Professor Sankalia and colleagues from Deccan College (Sankalia, et. all, 1962).
