The Pre-Gupta phase showed extensive settlement expansion with well-planned brick and stone structures, drains, multi-room complexes, a lime-plastered square kunda and a Satavahana brick structure. Finds included terracotta figurines, beads, ivory dice, iron implements, sealings with Brahmi inscriptions, copper coins and a silver coin of Vashishthiputra Pulumavi, indicating trade and administrative connections.
The Gupta–Vakataka phase was marked by continued urban development with brick-built rooms, walls and covered drainage systems. Pottery included stamped wares decorated with symbols such as the svastika, crescent moon and floral motifs. Silver seals, terracotta figurines, beads, iron tools, decorated stone plaques, copper coins and Roman silver portrait coins reflect the site's cultural and economic prosperity.
The Later Gupta phase was represented by structures built with reused bricks and brickbats, along with Red Ware and Dull Red Ware pottery. Iron objects, terracottas and semi-precious stone beads were also recovered.
The excavations also revealed a fortified settlement surrounded by an ancient moat, demonstrating the continuous occupation, urban growth, craft production, trade contacts and political significance of Malhar from the Pre-Mauryan to the Later Gupta period. (2/2)
The excavations at Malhar, carried out between 2009 and 2012, aimed to understand the site's cultural sequence, structural activities and the antiquity of its fortification.
The excavations revealed a long cultural sequence from the Pre-Mauryan period to the Later Gupta period, represented by five major occupational phases.
The earliest Pre-Mauryan phase was characterized by Black-and-Red Ware, Red Ware, Dull Red Ware and Red Slipped Ware, with no structural remains, indicating an early habitation primarily associated with ceramic activity.
The Mauryan–Sunga phase witnessed the emergence of stone and burnt-brick structures, rectangular houses and circular granaries. Important discoveries included decorated stone plaques, polished stone objects, terracotta sealings with Brahmi legends, copper coins, beads, rice grains and an iron tripod. (1/2)

I had a trip to Bilaspur from Bhubaneswar via train. The journey was via Sambalpur route and return was longer via Rourkela, Tatanagar and Kharagpur. In the entire journey, I saw vast green fields, train wagons filled with metals & minerals, and occasionally, the large mine processing industries.
The East has to unite and go beyond primary excavation industries.

Malabar Jewellery shop in Bilaspur was caught selling 20 carat Gold as 22 carat. That’s an 8% cheating in value. Local jewellers confronted them for losing trust because of their action.
Why do jewellers do this? And the closer you are to them, the more they betray your trust. Our family jeweller for 3 generations had been selling us 14 carat Gold jewellery as 22 carat and we came to know only when Tanishq installed a testing machine in a mall.
