Impressions of husks on potsherds imply the cultivation of millets. This is an important evidence, because even though millets find mention in ancient Sanskrit literature factual evidence is wanting in n. India. Another point to be stressed is that though the husk impressions occur in the top levels of Pd Ic, the evidence should be treated as early historical owing to the disturbed nature of the deposit.
