Apart from the probably Sumerian usages in the R 37 cemetery it is difficult to cite any significant parallels for these various burials – the Baluchistan cemetery of Nal already described has points of similarity to R 37 in the numerous vessels buried with the dead, and in R 37 there was at least one brick-edged grave comparable with those at Nal. But the large groups of pots are a common feature in the prehistoric and historic graves of Western Asia: we shall find them recurring for instance in the Shahi-tump cemetery, later than the Harappā period, in the Makran, and again in the Cemetery H at Harappā itself, similarly of late date.
