The evidence from Navdatoli suggests that at the end of Pd III a great flood occurred causing the site to be temporarily abandoned. The NBPW \[11.16\] forms the distinctive pottery of Pd IV together with the black-and-red, burnished red, coarse red and the red-slipped wares. The NBPW reveals a wide variety, certain features being quite new. The slip, for instance, varies in lustre and colour from steel-blue, silvery, lustrous gold-blue to shining brownish-black. The core, though grey in most cases, also shows variations. The sherds are however too fragmentary to give any indication of the shapes. - [Previous: v2.c39.176](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.176) - [Next: v2.c39.178](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.178) - [Up: v2.c39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.177](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.177) · Pramāṇa
