Apart from these some knife- or dagger-handles made of ivory have also been excavated at Taxila (Marshall, 1951, p. 660). All these belong to the Śaka-Parthian levels and are datable to the 1st century A.D. The 1944-5 excavation at Sirkap has yielded an ivory knife, wedgeshaped in section, from a post-structural pit (Ghosh, 1947-8, p. 21).
