Lal inBisauli and RajpurParasu (U.P.) where people used primitive types of copper implements and an ill-fired and thick Ochre-Washed Pottery. Among the OCP types were, later on, found many wares made of well levigated clay, wheel made, slipped and often painted with black colour, sturdily and well-fired. The types included jars, vases, with flanged rims and elongated beaks, bowls basins, lids with and without knobs, dish-on-stand and handled ones were common shapes. Motifs included bull, floral scroll, curved comb designs, geometric designs, triangles, spirals, circles, semi-circles, loops, bands and parallel lines. Other characteristic finds included arrow heads, beads, pendants, bangles of copper, terracotta beads, figurines, bull horns and semi-precious stones like carnelian, soap-stone and arrow heads of bone, etc.
