v1.c15.s3.5

There was not much evidence of the use of glass in the different phases of occupation at Ahar. However, the shells and shell objects were much more in quantity than the object of glass. Glass was represented by four pieces of bangles, all of monochrome category. Of the four pieces, two came from phase Ic and two were surface collections. The range of colours employed in the make up of glass bangles comprised of turquoise blue, sea green and milky white. The bangle pieces are covered with a whitish filmy patina. Glass, though technically reported from the horizons of Phase Ic, is better assigned to Period II.
