Pd I is represented by mud floors, houses of mud brick (25× 20× 6 cm) and wattle and daub structures, drains of baked brick, both rectangular (44× 22× 6 cm and 50× 25× 7 cm) and wedge-shaped (45× 30× 17× 7 cm), the latter perhaps intended to be used originally for the construction of a well or some other circular structure. Another important feature of the Pd is the occurrence of terracotta ring-wells [14.15], 75 cm in diameter, and a series of hearths. The other finds include a fragment of a sculptured ring-stone associated with the mother god-dess [12.6], terracotta human and animal figurines [17] including a house-rider wearing armour, a terracotta seal [3.2] reading *Seyaṅkarasa* and another reading *Svāti(?)rakhitasa*, a dish of the NBPW showing a stamped figure of an elephant on the inner base, small rings and disc of banded agate, an uninscribed cast coin [3.1] and a clay sealing bearing the symbols of arched hill, tree and a hollow cross. The ceramic industry is represented by the NBPW, grey ware, Black-slipped Ware [11.13] and associated red ware.
