As Northern Black Polished (NBP) ware and a punch-marked coin were found at the lowest levels, and Roman coins of late 4th /early 5th centuries A.D. at the upper levels, the site must have flourished between ca. 3rd century B.C. and 5th century A.D.⁹ However, the pottery inscriptions found at the site fall within a narrower range between ca. 2nd century B.C. and 1st century A.D. judging from palaeographic evidence.¹⁰
