A noteworthy discovery from levels ascribable to the 1st-2nd century A.D. was that of the Rouletted Ware [11.21], which may be taken as signifying trade with e. India where the ware has been found in greater quantity, though no doubt it occurs in abundance only farther s. along the e. coast. The Sarayu, which joins the Ganga near Chhapra, must have been the chief course for this trade. Indeed, large boats laden with cargo are known to have moved up and down the river until recently.
