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. - [Previous: v2.c28.201](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.201) - [Next: v2.c28.203](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.203) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.202](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.202) · Pramāṇa
