No full report is however available. The historical habitations here begin with Pd II, characterized by the black-and-red ware and terracottas in early Sātavāhana style, shell pendants and terracotta cart-wheels. Pd III could be dated on the basis of the coin moulds and coins of W. Kṣatrapa kings. The last Pd was evidenced by glass and lac bangles and medieval coins. - [Previous: v1.c9.s18.t3.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.23) - [Next: v1.c9.s18.t3.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.25) - [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.t3.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t3.24) · Pramāṇa
