The Ochre Coloured Pottery culture (OCP) is a Bronze Age culture of the Indo-Gangetic Plain "generally dated 2000–1500 BCE,"[1][2] extending from eastern Punjab to northeastern Rajasthan and western Uttar Pradesh.[3][4]
Artefacts of this culture show similarities with both the Late Harappan culture and the Vedic culture.[5][6] Archaeologist Akinori Uesugi considers it as an archaeological continuity of the previous Harappan Bara style,[7] while according to Parpola, the find of carts in this culture may reflect an Indo-Iranian migration into the India subcontinent, in contact with Late Harappans.[6] The OCP marked the last stage of the North Indian Bronze Age and was succeeded by the Iron Age black and red ware culture and the Painted Grey Ware culture.
