Such a number of burials in one cemetery (and it should be pointed out that some of the Nal burial groups include the skeletal remains of six or seven individuals) implies a settled community of some duration, and the superposition of two layers of burials noted by Hargreaves reinforces this. On the other hand, several of the small communities which the habitation sites described above imply may have used a common cemetery over a proportionately shorter space of time, and there are surface indications of more than one such in the immediate vicinity of the Sohr-damb.
