Download PDF Archaeologists have discovered more antics dating back to the Pala dynasty, including a terracotta piece bearing a statue of a meditating Gautam Buddha, at Bhasu Bihar in Shibganj upazila of Bogra.
The terracotta antic was found on Monday in a monastic cell of the existing structure of a Buddhist temple, which is more than 1,500 years old, Custodian Nahid Sultana said.
A large broken earthen jar, a niche, and door frames were also found on December 17 in different cells.
Assistant Custodian Md Mahabub-Ul-Alam said a floor was dug out in the temple beneath a 10-feet layer of ash in the existing structure. Similar layers were found in other cells.
Archaeologists said the monastic cells were either burnt down during the Sen dynasty or used as ash reservoirs.
Earlier, over 30 baked and unbaked clay seals, potteries and two brick-built structures were discovered during an excavation conducted by the Archaeology Department near Bhasu Bihar.
