The writer recovered all the objects and noticed sherds of the OCW \[4.12\] at the site. Trial operations started by the writer on behalf of the ASI brought to light a hooked sword and more specimens of the OCW. A later operation in the same year under B.B. Lal assisted by the writer yielded a large quantity of the same ware. In 1970-1 excavation of an area of 20×20 m by the writer, again under the direction of Lal, produced not only the OCW but a barbed harpoon at a depth of 45 cm. Resumed excavation in 1972, covering an area of 30×20 m, produced a chert blade and fresh shapes in the OCW (\*IAR 1969-70\*, p. 40; \*1970-1\*, p. 38; \*1971-2\*, p. 46). - [Previous: v2.c45.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.38) - [Next: v2.c45.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.40) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) ## Linked texts (1) - [Saipai](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.saipai) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.39) · Pramāṇa
