Apegaon is in the District of Aurangabad, which is located in the state if Maharashtra. It is near other sites in the area, such as Paithan, Daimabad, and Prakash. Apegaon was excavated by the Department of Archaeology in Deccan College in 1976. Pottery, microliths, copper slag, and faunal remains were recovered. The site dates to the Deccan Chalcolithic period that lasted from 1600-1000 BC. Researchers believed that the people were agriculturists because a variety of seeds were found. They also found that these ancient people were highly dependent on cattle, as 70% of the faunal remains consisted of their bones.
