A trial dig at the site undertaken in 1961-2 by the ASI yielded a gritty, handmade red ware in association with the Neolithic implements. The sherds are mostly of vases with out-turned rim. In all its technical aspects the ware is similar to the Neolithic pottery of KUCHAI. Thus Baidyapur passed through a true Neolithic stage in which the basic traits of a food-producing economy, viz., agriculture, polished stone tools and pottery, were present.
