Excavation at the extensive mound revealed three Pds. Pd I was characterized by the Russet-coated Painted Ware \[11.22\] and the Black-and-red \[11.15\]. In the later levels of the Pd was found a fine red-slipped pottery signifying new influences. Pd II was marked by the gradual reduction in the use of the Black-and-red Ware and the emergence of the fine red-slipped pottery. Alongside occurred an unslipped red ware with coarser texture. Pd III was marked by the occurrence of the coarser ill-fired red-slipped and unslipped pottery, the latter in a greater proportion. Some structures both of mud brick and baked brick also occurred. Beads, shell bangles, terracotta figurines, etc., were found at all levels. While Pd I was Megalithic, Pd II belonged to the 3rd-4th to the 9th-10th century and Pd III to the 14th-15th century. \*IAR 1961-2\*.
