But a mud fortification wall and a moat were found at ERAN on the river Bina; this defence complex belongs to the middle phase of Malwa occupation for which there is an isolated ¹⁴C date of \*c.\* 2000 B.C. However doubts have been expressed about the antiquity of this complex; some have even ascribed it to the historical period. - [Previous: v1.c9.s14.t1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.23) - [Next: v1.c9.s14.t1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.25) - [Up: v1.c9.s14.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1) ## Cites (1) - [Navdatoli](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.navdatoli) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t1.24) · Pramāṇa
