The site also known as Kusak is situated on the left bank of the Kali Nadi. Pd I characterized by unpainted black-and-red ware \[11.6.3\] and Black-slipped Ware \[11.13\] and red ware and some burnished grey ware. A floor with burnt patches and port-holes and a few burnt mud clods with reed marks indicate wattle-and-daub construction. Pd II A represents an earlier stage of the PGW \[11.24\] and is marked by the continuation of the earlier pottery and introduction of a small quantity of painted pottery alone with a few pieces of the PGW. A much richer material life than that of Pd I is reflected in the greater number and variety of antiquities. Pd II B represents the mature PGW culture marked by the fine variety of the Ware along with Black-slipped Ware and red and plain grey and black-and-red wares. The most significant feature of this Sub-Pd is that a part of the settlement now appears to have been circumscribed by a low mud embankment. Partly exposed floors with post-holes indicate a circular or oval and rectangular plan of the house/rooms. Other antiquities include: bangles, antimony rods \[18.1\], fish hooks \[6.6\] and a needle of copper; a hoe, sickle, spear-head, arrowhead, chopper, chisel, axe, nails and rods of iron; pottery discs and wheels; terracotta balls, beads, spindle whorls \[6.25\] gamesmen \[6.7.2\] and dabbers \[16.11\]; and arrowheads and points of various shapes and sizes of bone. Pd III is marked by the introduction of the NBPW \[11.16\] which overlaps with the PGW. It may be equated to ŚRĀVASTI Pd I. \*IAR 1959-60\*.
