The people of Jorwe culture lived in large rectangular houses with wattle and daub walls and thatched roofs. They believed in life after death and therefore buried the dead inside the houses under the floor. Children were buried in two urns that were joined mouth-to-mouth and set horizontally in the pit, while adults were placed in a supine position with their head towards the north (north to south). These sites were found in Daimabad, Inamgaon, Chandoli, Nevasa etc.
