*Pd II*. Evidence of a break between Pds I and II is provided by an abrupt change in cultural material, clear difference in the composition of layers and the fact that the top of Pd I was strewn over with weather-worn tiny bits of pottery. While the layers of Pd I are compact and brownish those of Pd II are loose, ashy and with frequent bands of burnt earth. Besides the top surface of Pd I had become hardened and calcareous before the arrival of the PGW people. On a part of the mound this surface was apparently utilized during Pd II for threshing or pounding operations as suggested by consolidated hard surface possessing mortar depressions.
