- Siswal abstract "Siswal is a village in Hisar district, Haryana, India. It is a site of Chalcolithic age which is known popularly as \"Siswals\" according to the fact that the first excavation took place within the village itself [2]. Siswal is a site of early Harappan otherwise known as \"Pre-Harappan\" civilization. The Pre-Harappans were known to live in mud houses with thatched roofs. The culture focused mainly on agriculture as an occupation, domesticating animals such as cows, bulls, pigs and goats. They used wheel made red pottery which was often painted on. They were said to have a black complexion, with curly hair and a flat nose, and according to archaeologists, stayed in the Haryana area around 2700 BC. [2] Due to these features, Siswal is a village of great archaeological importance within the Indian subcontinent. The Indus Valley Civilization ceramic period of Sothi-Siswal culture was relevant within the civilization. Sites around Siswal were excavated by archaeologist Suraj Bhan in different phases revealing an remarkable cultural sequence. During a three year period from 1967, Bhan was able to excavate ninety seven sites in the area in order to reach conclusions on the Harappan culture. Upon conducting the small scale excavations, Suraj Bhan was able date a time period ranging from Kalibangan to Late Harappan culture within the region. From here, he brought light to ceramic industry associated with the region known as Siswal, given the same name of the area that these ceramics are found in.Early Indus Valley Civilization ceramic now as of recent have been classified in order to make a datum line for ceramic studies in this area. Known as the 'six fabrics of Kalibanagan', this term is now known by most scholars who are working within this area of archaeological research [1].The mound located within the village of Siswal is 300m to the north of the village on the left bank of the Chautang Canal as reported by Bhan. The maximum habitation deposit found here was 1.25 m above the natural soil. He divided cultural deposit into Siswal A and Siswal B in which A was characterized by the presence of classical Kalibangan I – A to E fabrics. He has also noted a clear trend of evolution in typology from the lowest to the upper levels. A few examples of the sherds found at the site are described in the words of Bhan himself below:\"1. Miniature pot of red ware with short out-curved rim and thick horizontal black band on neck and lower part of body portion, 2.Upper portion of the red ware jar with simple out-turned rim and black slip on the rim and neck portion, 3. Fragment of a red ware sherd with black slip, 4.Fragment of a red ware basin with out-turned short beaked rim, 5.Fragment of a red ware sherd with buff slip and black painting in form of horizontal band, 6. Fragment of a red ware perforated jar, 7.Fragment of a small red ware sherd with horizontal wavy incisions on the interior, 8. Fragment of a red ware sherd with horizontal black band on the rim portions and incisions in form of horizontal and criss-cross lines, 9.Fragment of a red ware sherd with black slip on the exterior, 10. Fragment of a red ware sherd with black slip on the exterior. 11. Fragment of central portion of a red ware dish with incisions in form of concentric circle, 12. Fragment of rim portion of a red ware vase, 13. Fragment of a red ware sherd with thick horizontal band in black colour, 14. Rim portion of a red ware jar, 15. knob (?), shaped like mushroom, 9 cm in height solid, on top potion a circular concentric circle incised with fish motif within.\" [1]Upon the excavations at Siswal, Suraj Bhan put forward an idea of the existence of a parallel culture to the Harappans within the region. The ceramic industry of Siswal is divisible into three groups, Siswal A yielded the Kalibangan I Ware, with all the typical fabrics (A to F). Fabric A is painted with white pigment in addition to the black. In Siswal B the late Siswal phase, are found both the Late Siswal and the Harappan Wares. This second phase is characterized by the austerity in shape and design, along with a disappearance of painted white pigment. Better potting technique can also be displayed within this second group. [3] The former is marked by evolved Kalibangan I shapes bearing only black paintings. Although all the six fabrics survive in the ware, it lacks in variety in shapes and designs and is generally sturdier and better plotted than the Kalibangan I ware of the earlier phase. In accordance to this, Bhan separated non-Harappan sites on presence of a worn out medium thick red ware treated with red slip and painted with black bands, though he admits similar typology and firing with these and Siswal wear [1]. Lastly the third and final group is characterized by the appearance of medium fabric made through a fast wheel and treated with a red slip in the case of vessels. [3] Along with these artifacts found at the Siswal site, others found include terracota bangles with black paint strokes, terracota beads, terracota sling-balls, and terracota triangular cakes. [3] Due to the abundance of Harrapan archaeological history with the Siswal area, the site continues to be a hot spot within the country of India for tourism as well as archaeological inquiry.".
