Besides the usual Black-and-red Ware, the other finds include burnished black ware, a dull-red ware with drab wash and slip and a ware with bright-red slip. The pottery is invariably wheel-turned, well-baked and polished, with a sparing use of sand. It bears no decoration or painting. The shapes are the bowl, conical vessel, dish, tulip-shaped vase, three-legged pot, round-bottomed pot, pyriform jar and pot, ring-stand of ordinary and hour-glass shapes and conical and knobbed lid. There are some sherds with post-firing graffiti [20.1], classifiable into a number of types.
