The Jhukar phase was a phase of the
Jhukar and Jhangar phases are collectively called Jhukar and Jhangar culture (1900 - 1500 BCE). Cemetery H culture (subculture of Late Harrapan IVC phase) in Punjab was contemporaneous to Jhukar-Jhangar culture (subculture of late Harrapan IVC phase) in Sindh, both have evidence of continuity and change. Jhukar culture is associated with the sites excavated at Jhukar, Chanchudaro and Amri (Amri also as an earlier and distinct Amri culture belonging to earlier phases of IVC).[2] Rangpur culture in Gujarat, also part of late phase of IVC, was also contemporaneous to both.
The pottery of this phase is described as "showing some continuity with mature Harappan pottery traditions."
