They comprise five main types: (i) leaf-shaped with a small blade and lozenge cross-section; (ii) with a large flattened leaf-shaped blade and lozenge cross-section; (iii) with a solid point, plain tang and square cross-section; (iv) with a socketed head and circular cross-section; and (v) with a socket and rectangular cross-section. Among these type (i) appears to be the earliest. All the types are referable to Pd III, 605 to 45 B.C., according to the excavator. - [Previous: v1.c24.s3.t1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.t1.3) - [Next: v1.c24.s3.t1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.t1.5) - [Up: v1.c24.s3.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.t1) ## Linked texts (1) - [Kauśāmbī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kausambi) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.t1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.t1.4) · Pramāṇa
