This paper deals with an original and poorly known ceramic product: Basket Ware. It is characterized by its technique of molding the shape inside a basket, whose imprints remain visible on the outside surface of the vase. Basket Ware is found only in the Indo-Iranian borderlands, between the 5th millennium and the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. In what follows, we present a preliminary report on this ware, supported by data available in the literature and by recent excavation and survey data from Pakistani Makran. These allow us to provide a preliminary study of the shapes and of the building of the Basket Ware and to assess some hypotheses that have been proposed on the subject. This ceramic product, a craft tradition of long standing in the Indo-Iranian borderlands, also has potential for the study of protohistoric basketry
