नवदाटोली किस राज्य में अवस्थित है?

नवदाटोली (मध्य प्रदेश) का उत्खनन डेक्कन कॉलेज, पूना के प्रोफेसर एच.डी. सांकलिया ने कराया था। यह स्थल इस महाद्वीप का सबसे विस्तृत उत्खनित ताम्रपाषाणिक स्थल है, जिसकी तिथि लगभग ई. पू. 1500 से 1300 के मध्य निर्धारित की गई है।

Navdatoli has revealed excellent evidence of both round and rectangular residential structures which are located near Khargone (Madhya Pradesh). The former measures about 3m in diameter and the latter 2m × 2.2m. The roofs were probably made of hay, branches and leaves and were supported on massive wooden posts, 22cm in diameter, raised at regular intervals around the huts. The open spaces between the posts were provided with mud-plastered bamboo screens. The house floors were made up of silt clay and river gravel, with the surface coated with lime. The huts were provided with one or two-mouthed ‘chulhas’ as well as storage jars and other earthen vessels. This site was excavated by Mr. H.D. Sankalia, Professor of Deccan College, Pune. This site was the most extensive excavated Chalcolithic site of Indian sub-continent, which is determined to be between 1500 B.C. and 1300 B.C.
