Following the abandonment, archaeological evidence indicates that the city's beginnings can be traced to Macrophase 2a1, which occurred between 600 and 500 BCE, marking a pre-Achaemenid phase. This period is poorly represented in terms of finds and pottery, with only "a poorly preserved section of a wall revealing signs of a passageway indicated by wheel traces." | |||
The influence of Achaemenid culture is associated with Macrophase 2a2, spanning from 500 to 400 BCE. This acculturation, evident from around 500 to 450 BCE, began with "the local production of tulip bowls at Barikot [which] implies that processes of emulation and social aspiration were already underway among the Swat elite during the early part of [the 5th century BCE]" within the Classic period of the Persian Empire. During this phase in Barikot, archaeologists discovered luxury pottery characteristic of the Achaemenids, alongside the emergence of non-luxury Indic pottery and various local glass artifacts. | |||
