In new Rājagṛha, the fort outside in n. gate of the valley, excavation in 1905-6 (\*ASI-AR 1905-6\*, p. 9) yielded remains of secular buildings in three levels. In one of the houses was ‘granary made of earthen rings’ (ring-wells? \[14.15\]) and a well of wedge-shaped brick. Also recovered ware: two clay tablets with legends in characters of the 2nd or 1st century B.C., a square copper punch-marked coin and six copper cast coins \[3.1\] as also medieval coins; some fragments of Buddhist sculptures; and a few terracotta seals bearing the Buddhist creed or symbols.
