*Pd I*. Pd I, dated from *c.* 800-200 B.C. is divisible into three Sub-pds. Sub-pd I A was the formative period of the settlement, characterized by the black-and-red ware, [11.6.3], Black-slipped Ware [11.13] and slipped and unslipped red ware. The first two are sometimes painted with simple linear designs in white. Iron implements, tools of bone and large number of terracotta objects like pottery discs, both unperforated and with single perforation [6.7.3], wheels [16.19], balls, ear ornaments, skin-rubbers [18.4] and stoppers were the objects in use. Among stone objects we have balls of different sizes. Beads of terracotta, paste and bone have also been found. No structural remains of any kind have been noticed.
