A considerable gap intervenes between Pds III and IV, the latter marked by the emergence of the NBPW \[11.16\], the black-and-red ware, the Russet-coated Painted Ware \[11.22\], the coarse and slipped red pottery, tan-slipped ware and a kind of red-and-black ware. The cultural debris of this Pd shows six phases of occupation associated with the occurrence of lime floors, bricks and tiles. The evidence from Phase IV suggests the existence of more-than-one-room tenements. Storage jars have been found embedded in floors and soak-pits have been identified. Noteworthy in the last phase of occupation is the use of stone blocks for some sort of pavement and the recovery of a group of three rotary querns and four saddle querns along with an iron object resembling a clamp. - [Previous: v2.c40.404](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.404) - [Next: v2.c40.406](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.406) - [Up: v2.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.405](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.405) · Pramāṇa
