Daimabad is a deserted village and archaeological site on the left bank of the Pravara River, a tributary of the Godavari River in Shrirampur taluka in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state in India.[1] This site was discovered by B. P. Bopardikar in 1958. It has been excavated three times so far by the Archaeological Survey of India teams. The first excavation in 1958-59 was carried out under the direction of M. N. Deshpande. The second excavation in 1974-75 was led by S. R. Rao. Finally, the excavations between 1975-76 and 1978-79 were carried out under the direction of S. A. Sali.[2] Discoveries at Daimabad suggest that Late Harappan culture extended into the Deccan Plateau in India.[3] Daimabad is famous for the recovery of many bronze goods, some of which were influenced by the Harappan culture.[4]
