In Pd II new structural patterns were evolved. The semi-subterranean pits and pit chambers were filled up and plastered with mud and sometimes covered with a thin coat of red ochre to serve as a floor. That extensive timber structures were erected is clear from the numerous post-holes on the regular floors in the rammed *karewa* soil. In one of the trenches as many as 45 well-arranged post-holes have been encountered in an area of 3·96×1·21 m at a depth of 2·13 m below surface. Probably partitions were provided for the larger timber structures. Such extensive structures suggest some sort of community living. Well-arranged post-holes on floors and mud and mud-brick structures have also been noticed.
