The structures were built of mud-brick as well as burnt brick laid over a plinth of rubble and clay, with a smooth clay plaster over the flooring. A remarkable feature of the Pd was a bead workshop with beads of carnelian and agate in various stages of manufacture indicating that Ujjain was then a centre of bead making. Pd III has been given a very wide time-bracket and designated as Śuṅga-Paramāra, characterized by Śuṅga terracottas, brick constructions, soakage wells, brick drains, votive tanks \[12.11\] and fragmentary sculptures. - [Previous: v1.c9.s18.t3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.20) - [Next: v1.c9.s18.t3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.22) - [Up: v1.c9.s18.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.21) · Pramāṇa
