Going by the styles of pottery ([[Black and Red Ware]], Red Slipped Ware, Grey Ware, [[Northern Black Polished Ware]], etc. found on different and sometimes intermixed levels), [[microliths]], metallurgical fragments, beads, shells, skeletons, terracotta figurines, homesteads, [[debitage]], shards of bone, and habitational refuge one can place this site in the same archaeo-cultural horizon as [[Pandu Rajar Dhibi]]. By about 1200-1000 BCE [[chalcolithic]] proto-urban people had settled on the northern banks of the [[Dwarakeswar River|Dwarakeswar]], most probably belonging to a socio-culturally and technologically advanced branch of the [[Austroasiatic]] ethno-linguistic group. After this early proto-historic period, stretching from the copper-Bronze Age to the early Iron Age of the pre-[[Maurya]] to the [[Shunga Empire|Shunga]] eras, nothing noticeable has been discovered at Dihar till confirmed [[Shaivism|Saivite]] activities beginning roughly from around the 13th-14th centuries CE.<ref>{{cite book |last=Das |first=Dipak Ranjan |year=2012 |chapter=Dihar |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Dihar |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref> | Belonging to the days of copper-Bronze Age civilisation<ref>http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/27148/12/12_chapter%204.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref> and with an intricate narrative more than three millennia old, it is one of the earliest sites of human habitation discovered in Bengal which shows successive layers of prehistory, proto-history and history.
