The Painted Grey Ware culture (PGW) is an Iron Age Indo-Aryan culture of the western Gangetic plain and the Ghaggar-Hakra valley in the Indian subcontinent, conventionally dated c.1200 to 600–500 BCE, [1] [2] or from 1300 to 500–300 BCE.
An examples of grey ware found in Pakistan was the Faiz Muhammad Grey Ware. This was manufactured during the Mehgarh Period V and included deep, open bowls and shallow plates. [3] The technology used for this type of grey ware was similar to the technology used in the grey ware found in east Iranian sites called Emir Grey Ware. [3]

Bhagwanpura, also known as Baghpur, is a village in Kurukshetra district, Haryana, India. [1] It is an archaeological site that lies on the bank of Hakra Ghaggar channel. [2] [3] Situated 24 km northeast of Kurukshetra, the site is notable for showing an overlap between the late Harappan and Painted Grey Ware cultures.
The most distinctive pottery of this period is known as "Gray Burnished ware" or sometimes as "Esdraelon ware" or Proto-Urban C pottery. This ware is known for its generally gray color, highly burnished finish, and a limited and distinctive range of morphological types, almost invariably bowls.
Chinese pottery also used techniques where patterns, images or calligraphy were created as part-dried slip was cut away to reveal a lower layer of slip or the main clay body in a contrasting colour. The latter of these is called the "cut-glaze" technique. [7] Slipware may be carved or burnished to change the surface appearance of the ware.
The find from this site belong to the mature Harappan phase as well as later-era PGW phase (Vedic period). [2] The Painted Grey Ware culture (PGW) probably corresponds to the middle and late Vedic period, i.e., the Kuru-Panchala kingdom, the first large state in South Asia after the decline of the Indus Valley civilization (IVC).
The Gandhara Grave, Cemetery H, Copper Hoard and Painted Grey Ware cultures are candidates for subsequent cultures within South Asia associated with Indo-Aryan movements. [needs context] The decline of the Indus Valley Civilisation predates the Indo-Aryan migrations, but archeological data show a cultural continuity in the archeological record.
