Some interesting terracotta human figurines belong to the Maurya and Kushan periods. The Mauryan type is represented by two figurines of which one is standing full figure and the other is preserved up to the neck. Both bear stamped decorative necklaces; one has in addition ear ornaments designed in the shape of flower. The Kushan specimens are found in typical ‘realistic’ modelling, one with a fan-shaped head-dress with deep vertical incisions and bulging eyes and the other a standing male figure with features akin to the *nāga* type found in other Ganga valley sites [17.1]. Wheel carts with highly ornamented discs are of the Kushan type. The site continued to be occupied during the medieval times as revealed by glazed ceramics.
