Pd I is represented by the sproadic occurrence of sherds of the OCW [4.12] in a deposit of brown clay which imperceptibly merges into the natural soil underneath, with no other sign of habitation. Evidence from other sites like BAHADARABAD, LAL QILA, SAIPAĪ, etc., indicates that this pottery is in fact a kind of black-on-red ware and is associated with the Copper Hoards of the Ganga valley [4.11]. Humus marking the top of the OCW deposit signifies that the site was deserted and covered with vegetation before the advent of the next occupation.
