In Pd II, covering the two centuries preceding the Christian era, coarse NBPW and coarse grey ware continue in diminishing quantities. A red ware stamped with leaf, floral and \*tri-ratna\* symbol and often with applied designs is the noteworthy feature of this Pd. The earliest specimen of \*makara-mukha\* occurs in the late levels of this Pd. Baked bricks are observed for the first time. Each family or a group of families had two rooms having one or two doorways, a vestilule, a domestic well, a bathing platform and an attached baked-brick drain. Sanitary arrangements were sometimes provided by placing soakage jars with perforated bottoms while in other cases the houses had a soak-pit made of terracotta rings. Uninscribed copper cast coins and terracotta seals, some of them bearing names like \*Revatimita\* in the characters of the 2nd-1st centuries B.C., help to date this Pd. - [Previous: v2.c44.110](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.110) - [Next: v2.c44.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.112) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.111) · Pramāṇa
