Abstract
The Kayatha culture is one of the most important Chalcolithic cultures of India and
specifically of Madhya Pradesh. Its discovery raised questions among the scholars like its
origin, extent, cultural significance etc. Quite a few number of Kayatha culture sites have
been excavated which however complicated the understanding of the Kayatha culture
even more rather than providing significant answers. The issues and problems associated
with the Kayatha culture have been pointed out. Based on the issues and problems, a reanalysis of the Kayatha culture ceramics has been carried out and it has been proposed
that Chocolate Slipped Ware should not be considered as the characteristic ceramic of
the Kayatha culture. Instead the Red on Cream Variety of Red Ware should be recognised
as the main parameter for the identification of the Kayatha culture.
