The cultural assemblage of Pd IV A is represented by the bowl, cup and the so-called ‘ink-pot’ type \[20.2\] vase of a decadent red ware, a few sherds of the NBPW \[11.16\], lipped bowl of black ware, stamped pottery, copper ornaments, stone and terracotta beads, polished stone celts, saddle-querns \[6.19\], stone pestles \[6.19\], goldsmith's moulds and a disc-like gold bead. The people lived in brick-built houses, the floors of which were paved with bricks. A gold coin of Kaniṣka I recovered from the surface is an important antiquity of this Pd. The cultural repertoire of Pd IV B is related to the post-Gupta period and includes ordinary conical cups, terracotta net-sinkers \[6.16\] and wares of medieval times like the spouted goblet or jug. - [Previous: v2.c42.154](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.154) - [Next: v2.c42.156](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.156) - [Up: v2.c42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.155](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c42.155) · Pramāṇa
