इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
Period -I -Chalcolithic Cultures - Habitatioanl deposit of this period was found to be about 5.50 m. in the trenches PLD IV and VI Extn and this indicated the potentiality of this culture. On the basis of ceremic variations and antiquarians remains it may be divided into four subphases. Phase -II - Historic Period - This cxcavation does not reveal any regular sequence of culture of the historic period. However, the antiquities belonging to Maurya, Sunga, Satavahana, Kshatrapa, Gupta, Parmara and Medieval periods have been encountered from PLK IV. It appears that the regular habitation might be somewhere in the vicinity of the mound. The important antiquities were terracotta objects, shell bangles, stone beads, terracotta beads, iron implements glass objects, bone implements, copper coins, stone sculptures etc. The potteries were red ware, black ware, black and red ware and painted black bonds on red ware of Kshatrapa level. Artistically it may be placed around circa 9-10th century A.D. An outstanding sculpture of Nayika shown in standing posture and holding a lotus stalk and flower in the left hand and right hand downwards, was procured form the upper historic level of the site. This is the excavated site. There is no tradition for the same. |
