= History = It is believed that Navnath used to stay a night in Chandoli Budruk when travelling to Bhimashankar. Now, on that place there is a temple in the memory of Navnath Known as 'Shree Kanhoba Temple'.There is a site of Chalcolithic culture on river banks dated to 3500–3000 years B.P.  Excavation of the Chalcolithic site in 1960 and 1961 by Dr. S. B. Deo and G. G. Majumdar of the Deccan College and Post-Graduate Research Institute revealed a single-culture site, with habitational deposits 4-5 feet thick.

The excavation team found hydraulic lime flooring with circular postholes, clay hearths a half-meter wide, and constructions containing white ash, charcoal, lime and burnt clay. Assorted pottery was also found at the site, decorated mostly with geometric designs, though motifs such as leaves, mountains and antelopes were present. Copper objects found at the site include two chisels, leg ornaments, and a dagger with a leaf-shaped mid-ribbed blade – the first of its kind found in a stratified context in India.

Burials
Twenty-four urn burials were found at the site, twenty-two of them children. One of the adult burials consisted of three jars in a north-south alignment, with the skeleton mostly outside the jars. The skeleton had burn marks on the face and skull, and both adult skeletons were missing anklebones. The urn burials resemble those found at an archaeological site in Nevasa.

= Peer Review = Hey there! You did a really great job of describing the area of Chandoli Burdruk, but I would add some information about what makes the site relevant to archaeology. Try mentioning whether or not there are any artifacts found, or anything that might be related to housing. I know it's super hard to try and find sources and material to give any kind of information, so best of luck! ~
