Pd III can be divided into seven structural Sub-pds. The structures in general are of burnt brick, but those of rubble have also been found. The pottery is red with a few pieces of Red Polished Ware [11.23]. The earliest levels yield pottery bearing impressed designs and symbols typical of the Kushan period. The shapes represented are: the bowl, ink-pot [20.2] type of lid; sprinkler; bottle-necked vase; basin; vase; and jar. The terracotta figurines include a male figure prepared from a shallow mould, a moulded head with the hair tied on the top with a knot, crude figurines having pinched face, stumpy limbs and applied breasts and *sattī-sattā* plaques. On the analogy of the similar finds at AHICCHATRĀ the Pd has been dated from the 1st century A.D. to the late historical period.
