A small Chalcolithic site in southern India, consisting of several mounds and representing a single period material culture in the second half of the 2nd millennium BC. There was a wheel-made red ware painted in black, including distinctive long-spouted vessels. Jorwe had a rich copper tool industry in addition to stone toolmaking and it seems to be related to the Malwa complex further north.

A Chalcolithic site in southern India, consisting of several mounds, but representing a single period of occupation, related to the Malwa complex further north. Metal was in use, but a stone industry based on blades, some microlithic, also occurred. Typical Jorwe pottery is a hard-fired wheel-made red ware, painted in black.
