== Other information ==
The remains of a multilevel settlement dating from the Paleolithic period to the Middle Ages have been discovered at Navasa. Excavations were conducted by H. D. Sankalia in the 1950s and by G. Karve-Corvinus in 1967. Nevasa's Aeneolithic layer reveals a settled agricultural culture characterized in the second millennium B.C. by implements (elongated plates) similar to those of the [Harappa civilization](/source/Indus_Valley_Civilisation), in modern-day [Pakistan](/source/Pakistan).<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1080/02666030.1998.9628552 | volume=14 | title=Nevasa: A Type-site for the Study of Indo-Roman Trade in Western India | year=1998 | journal=South Asian Studies | pages=87–102 | last1 = Gupta | first1 = Sunil}}</ref>
