Abstract
The paper is based on a comparative study carried out for the sites of Kaothe and Daimabad. The study focused on drawing cultural similarities and differences as both the sites exhibit divergent evidence in terms of dwelling structures and their relationship with late Harappan. Ceramics, being the most distinguishing factor of this culture, has been considered as the main unit of analysis for the present research accompanied by other aspects of the economy, society, and land use patterns. The comparative study was done using results obtained from laboratory analysis and published readings. The study has brought about an understanding of the characteristics of Savalda ware and the regional variations that prevailed among the two sites. It was noticed that certain differences in ceramic wares were associated with technological choices, social organisation, local environment, and cultural interactions.
