v2.c28.559

As time passed, but still within the NBPW period, houses began to be constructed of kiln-burnt brick and terracotta ring-wells [14.15] also came into existence. An interesting find of *c.* 4th-3rd century B.C. was a Jaina figure in grey terracotta, being amongst the earliest, if not the earliest, Jaina figure found so far. The successive levels of the site yielded various coins [3.1] such as punch-marked, uninscribed cast copper and inscribed copper, for example those of king Mūldeva, and several terracotta sealings, for example those of kings Vāyudeva, Vijayamitra, etc. The occupation continued in this manner up to *c.* 4th century A.D.
