In Pd I have been exposed an oven and a circular fire-place 26 cm in diameter. The ceramic assemblage comprises sherds of plain and painted black-and-red ware, NBPW, Black-slipped Ware [11.13] and red ware. The other finds include an archaic terracotta temple figurine, copper bangle, microlithic core, fish-hooks and points of bone, fluted terracotta pieces of the shape of pipe possibly used for fishing, pieces of tortoise shell probably used as a scraper and knife. Besides, talismen [12.1] and styli [20.5] made of bone, beads of agate and carnelian and terracotta female figurines have been met with ORP-1A, unlike ORP-2A, does not show any trace of erosion or silt deposit. The black-and-red ware in ORP-2A may relate the site to other Chalcolithic sites in Bihar and c. India [4.14.3, 5].
