Besides a burnt-brick phase evidence of an earlier stone structural phase in post-NBPW levels has been discovered whereas elsewhere in the Ganga valley burnt-brick structures come into vogue all of a sudden either in the late NBPW \[4.18.1\] levels or more commonly in the post-NBPW ones. The excavation has revealed two Pds, the early NBPW (Pd I) and post-NBPW (Pd II). A small conflagration between them denotes a break. - [Previous: v2.c46.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.34) - [Next: v2.c46.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.36) - [Up: v2.c46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.35) · Pramāṇa
