The layers of Pd II also yielded six coins, one of them belonging to king Apollodotus who ruled about the 2nd century B.C. and three seal impressions bearing legends in Brāhmī dated palaeographically to the early centuries of the Christian era. Copper objects comprised rings, bangles and antimony rods \[18.1\], whereas as many as 79 objects of iron were found. Of these 36 were iron slag pieces. Arrowheads were prominent in the repertoire of tools, the other identifiable implements being axes, nails and chisels. Glass was represented by four fragments of monochrome bangles. The recovery of shell bangles and ear-studs together with numerous waste pieces suggests local manufacture. Other finds include bone points, terracotta skin-rubbers, votive tanks \[12.11\], toys and human figurines and beads of terracotta and semiprecious stones.
