Pd III (c. 1700-1500/1450 B C.) represents the BARA ware culture, the remains of which are traceable in the pits cut into the Harappa levels of the mound. The ceramics of Pds II and III are different form each other in respect of fabric, slip, potting technique and painting, though certain Harappa traditions continue in pottery, terracotta nodules and cakes [6.27]. The excavation makes it clear that the Harappa brought with them their mature and well-developed traditions and lived side by side with the earlier residents. The BARA ware may be termed as post-Harappa or at best a late contemporary of the Harappa.
