How the Pd came to an end is not known, but Pd V began after a considerable lapse of time, late in the 11th century. The houses are now made largely with brickbats robbed from the earlier structures. The usual run of pottery is dull-red, sometimes stamped, incised or painted. However an extraneous ware appears on the scene in levels which also yielded a coin of Balban (1266-77). The ware has a whitish gritty core, with geometrical and floral designs in blue, brown and green colours on the surface which is glazed. Local imitations of this pottery, with terracotta core, were also made. The Pd came to an end in the 15th century.
