The most significant discovery is the finding of black-and-red ware at the lowest levels of Sonepur below the N.B.P. in the Gaya District¹. Thus the excavations at Patna, Rajgir and Sonepur show that the black-and-red ware again provides a link between the Proto-historic grey wares and the Historic period represented by the N.B.P. Thus this entire problem of these black-and-red wares needs a careful study. Does it suggest a spread of this ware along the flanks of the Vindhyas south of the river Ganges? In that connection, the discovery of a few sherds at Kanouj, and the mention of megaliths by Cockburn in the Mirzapur District, indicate interesting possibilities.
