In earlier publications the author had divided the occupation into three phases. But on rethinking over the evidence he is now inclined to divide the sequence into two Pds with a break of occupation in between. Phases I and II (of earlier sequence) would belong to Pd I and Phase III to Pd II. No stratigraphic break was however visible between the two Pds primarily because of the sandy nature of the deposit. Since the occupation of Pd II took place immediately over the Pd I deposit, a certain admixture of the cultural materials of the two Pds was inevitable in a soft sandy medium. - [Previous: v2.c29.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.62) - [Next: v2.c29.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.64) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.63) · Pramāṇa
