About the book >.>.> The excavations at Ahichchhatra were carried out from 1940 to 1944 under the direction of the late Rao Bahadur K. N. Dikshit. During the four seasons’ work an approximate time-sequence was established and it is on the basis of this time-sequence that the present analysis has been prepared. For purposes of record the whole site was marked out on the general site-plan in 500-foot squares each square being numbered with a capital letter of the alphabet as A B C etc. on the east-west line and by Roman numerals I II III etc. on the north-south line. Each 500-foot square was sub-divided into 100-foot squares which were again divided into 10-foot squares and each of these 100 sub-divisions was numbered. Thus the number ‘ACIII KIX/P9a -61’ on a figurine shows that it was found at Ahichchhatra plot III in 500-foot square KIX in 100-foot square P in 10-foot square 9a at the 61-foot level below a datum fixed at the top of the highest mound inside the fortifica- tion about 75 feet above the level of the fields outside. Of these plots. (SP)
