The earliest Pd, dated to *c.* 1000 B.C., was marked by microliths—cores, long blades with worked edges, lunates, crescentic blades, arrowheads and scrapers made on agate, chalcedony, quartz, jasper and flint—and a black-painted red pottery on the Black-Cotton Soil [9.1]. Large lobular vessels were painted in black with thick horizontal and concentric bands. The pottery was turned on slow wheel and had a micaceous red slip in the interior. There were no copper objects.
