Archaeological explorations and excavations across the length and breadth of the Indian subcontinent have revealed several distinct types of pottery which facilitated reconstruction of the past. In archaeology, research on pottery has played a key role in providing information about a period and cultural sequence of a site and its contacts with other regions, whether local or outside. Pottery like Northern Black Polished Ware (NBPW), Rouletted ware (RW) and other early historical period pottery, for instance, Knobbed ware (KW), have played a significant role in the maritime trade of South and Southeast Asia. In comparison with other pottery, distribution and studies on KW are very limited. KW has been recovered from excavations at many sites in Odisha and elsewhere in India. During recent explorations along the Odisha coast, KW sherds have been collected from several sites of Odisha. In this paper, an attempt has been made to understand the distribution of KW in Odisha, its period and role in the maritime trade of Odisha in particular and India in general
