(vi) The team has observed that in early NBP period the river Tons used to flow nearby the site. It is proved by the layers of sand deposit during early NBP period noticed in trench nos. 9 and 14 of the Mound-1. In this way we may conclude that the site of Pakkakot lies between Chhoti Saryu and Budhi river which is a unique geographical feature of the site.
