Recent archaeological efforts at the site of Inamgaon in Maharashtra have unearthed significant evidence of early social hierarchy. Excavations led by the Indian Archaeological Review discovered distinct residential zones where larger, multi-room dwellings were found alongside smaller, circular huts, suggesting a clear division of wealth and status within the community.
The team also recovered specialized copper tools and semi-precious stone beads from the larger houses, indicating that certain families held control over trade and craft production. This research provides a crucial window into the socio-economic complexities of the Jorwe Culture during the second millennium BCE.
