Cunningham with ancient Kāmpilya, capital of s. Pañcāla (\*ASI—AR\*, 1, p. 255), on an old bed of the Ganga, where Drupada is said to have ruled in the days of the \*Mahābhārata\*. A small-scale excavation conducted by the Banaras Hindu Univ. under K.K. Sinha in 1976 revealed it to be a single-culture site of the PGW \[11.14\] complex. The 1·30-2 m deposit yielded, apart from the PGW, the fine grey and red wares, the black-slipped ware \[11.13\] and a few sherds of the black-and-red ware \[11.6.3\]. These had all the traditional types of the dish and bowl as identified at HASTINĀPURA, though the number of painted sherds was very limited. It has been observed that the number of painted sherds decreases as one moves e.wards. Other antiquities included discs, terracotta stoppers, copper pins, animal figurines and copper balls. Traces of a mud embankment were noticed in one of the trenches. - [Previous: v2.c37.273](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.273) - [Next: v2.c37.275](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.275) - [Up: v2.c37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37) ## Cites (2) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Hastināpura](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.hastinapura) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.274](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.274) · Pramāṇa
