Dikshit assisted by the writer and others conducted extensive excavations here during 1940-4. For purposes of excavation the whole of the fortified area was divided into plots designated as AC I, AC II, AC III, etc., each plot a distinct mound separated from each other by long depressions, possibly roads. Among the excavated plots it was in AC III in the w. sector that digging was started at a sufficiently high level to ensure that the area had been in occupation till the last days of the city and was carried down to the natural soil. AC III thus represents a cross-section of all the structural stages of the w. sector and provides a stratigraphic basis for dating objects found elsewhere in the city. - [Previous: v2.c28.93](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.93) - [Next: v2.c28.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.95) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c28.94) · Pramāṇa
