Toys and wheels are generally reported from levels after 300 B.C. One of the commonest objects in the levels before 300 B.C. are terracotta discs [6.7.3], also known from the PGW levels at HASTINĀPURA, but without any symbols. ŚRĀVASTĪ, RAJGHAT and PRAHLADPUR have yielded a good number of discs from levels datable to 600-300 B.C.. Most of them show a symbol depicting the sun. It is interesting to note that these discs ceased to exist after 300 B.C.
