Grave-goods with the fractional burials at both sites consisted in the main of pottery vessels, and a flat copper axe accompanied one burial at Nal. Animal bones, mainly sheep or goat, were found in at least six graves at this site, and there were bones of ox at Damb Buthi - no doubt food offerings. At each site there was a burial with red pigment - placed in a pair of mussel shells at Damb Buthi and with a colour-grinder at Nal. A great number of beads were found at Nal in the same areas as, though not directly associated with, the fractional burials; shell and pottery bangles were a distinctive feature in the Sind site.
