Pd II, pre-NBPW [11.16], a 2·10 m thick deposit after a hiatus, is marked by the use of iron, though it continues some of the earlier Chalcolithic features. Among the iron objects there are tanged and non-tanged arrowheads, spearheads, daggers, axes including socketed ones, knife-blades, blades, celts, sickles, spoons, nails and rings. Black-slipped Ware [11.13] and black-and-red ware [11.6.2] are dominant. The Pd corresponds to Pd I of UJJAIN.
