During the next Sub-pd, II B, the black-and-red ware disappeared and was replaced by a plain red ware in which the commonest type consisted of the bowl with incurved rim. Some pots were found painted in black with simple bands. A few bore stamped designs. Notable is the find of a hoard of 3268 punch-marked coins, predominantly of copper and some with silver coating. The other antiquities included terracotta human and animal figurines, iron objects, beads of carnelian, shell and terracotta, shell bangles and bone points. Though no structures were exposed, floors of burnt bricks of the size of 32 × 12·6 × 4·5 cm were traced. A few tiles [14.6.4] were also recovered.
