    Small Protohistoric Sites (Fishing Villages?) on the Saurashtra Coast, West Coast of India A.S. Gaur1 and Sundaresh1 1. CSIR‐National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 19 September 2013; Accepted: 29 September 2013; Revised: 15 October 2013 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 1 (2013): 104‐117 Abstract: During the maritime archaeological explorations a few sites of protohistoric in nature have been noticed along the Saurashtra coast. The trial excavations of a few sites namely Bet Dwarka and Bhokhira on the western Saurashtra coast yielded the remains of late Harappan phase and provide the insight into the settlement pattern of this period along the coast of Saurashtra. Majority of the sites are under cultivation thus original cultural deposition cannot be determined correctly, however, present deposit is between 20 and 75 cm. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dates from these sites provide a time bracket for the settlement between the 18th and the12th century BC. Other two sites namely Kanjetar and Kaj are situated on the mid‐Saurashtra coast were explored and the pottery assemblage is similar to those found at above mentioned site and also they have some close similarity with Pottery from Prabhasa Patana. Coastal exploration during the season of 2011‐12 near Madhopur yielded a small settlement with similar type pottery noticed at Antroli. Majority of the sites are situated very close to the coastal area and this provides us an opportunity to analyse the reason for settlements. Keywords: Protohistoric, Harappan, Pottery, Coastal Exploration, Excavation, Saurashtra Coast, Settlement Pattern Introduction Saurashtra coast on the western margin of India has been the favourable area for human settlement since the early stone‐age (Marathe 1981).
