The pottery of Pd II is different from that of Phase II and does not develop out of the latter. It is entirely wheel-made. The firing is better and the pots are thinner and lighter. The surface is rarely treated with slip or wash. The common shapes are the large jar, small cylindrical pot and bowl with broad mouth and narrow flat base. Decoration is rare and where present consists of simple incisions.
