Pd I is represented by the PGW \[11.14\] with a sprinkling of the late Harappa \[11.4\] sturdy red ware (cf. similar overlap at BHAGWANPURA², DADHERI, KATPALON and MANDA). Semicircular huts and two oval structures of burnt earth, probably of a religious nature, have been noticed. Copper objects, bone styli \[20.5\], terracotta ear ornaments and animal figures, besides beads and bangles, have been found. Pd II has the typical Kushan pottery, terracottas and coins. A terracotta seal \[3.2\] reads \*śrī-mahāsenāpati-Rāmaguptasya\* in characters of the 3rd century. In Pd III there was a prosperous medieval occupation. (Black-slipped ware, 11.13, is also reported.) —J.P.
