Q. In which of the following places Ochre Coloured Pottery culture (OCP) is mainly found?
Answer: Western UP
Notes: The Ochre Coloured Pottery (OCP) culture, a Bronze Age culture in the Indo-Gangetic Plain, existed between 2000–1500 BCE. It extended from eastern Punjab to northeastern Rajasthan and western Uttar Pradesh. The OCP artifacts show similarities with both the Late Harappan and Vedic cultures. Archaeologist Akinori Uesugi considers it a continuation of the earlier Harappan Bara style, while Parpola suggests that the presence of carts in this culture may indicate an Indo-Iranian migration into the Indian subcontinent, interacting with Late Harappans. The OCP represents the final stage of the North Indian Bronze Age, followed by the Painted Grey Ware culture and Northern Black Polished Ware.
