Abstract

At the time of the decline of the well-established and civilized culture, the Harappan culture (now termed as Indus-Sarasvati culture), a new culture has been evolved in the Ganga-Yamuna doab (Upper Ganga plain), generally known as Ochre Coloured Pottery (OCP) culture on the basis of its ceramic type. Its appearance in Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab also represents the extension of this ceramic based culture. The climatic condition of the Ganga-Yamuna doab (Upper Ganga plain) was drier and more arid than Middle and Lower Ganga plains. The region of Ganga-Yamuna plain is a part of ancient Madhyadesa. Even the remains show that the region was undoubtedly inhabited by the late phase of Indus-Sarasvati culture and Ochre Coloured Pottery just before the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.
