**Gilund,** a small town located about a 1½ km off the right bank of the Banas in Dt Udaipur, the distance from the Dt headquarters Udaipur being about 70 km to the n.-e. as the crow flies. The unnamed ancient site in the vicinity of this town covers an area of about 460 × 230 m and is broadly divisible into two parts, w. and e., rising respectively to heights of about 7 and 14 m above the surrounding fields. A small-scale excavation carried out at the site during 1959-60 by the writer (*IAR 1959-60*, p. 41) revealed that while the occupation at both the mounds commenced simultaneously, that on the e. one continued much later, which fact also accounts for its extra height.
