However the find of a circular clay kiln with several unfinished and finished beads near by has not helped in throwing light on all the aspects of bead-making at Lothal. But some details regarding the working of the Lothal furnace can be had. The furnace was circular on plan with a diameter of a little less than 2 m and had four openings in its roof. The sides were plastered with clay. The furnace was constructed in one of the rooms of a house having six rooms. Beyond this and the association of a number of finished and unfinished beads with the furnace referred to above no other details are available. - [Previous: v1.c15.s1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s1.9) - [Next: v1.c15.s1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s1.11) - [Up: v1.c15.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s1) ## Cites (1) - [Lothal](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.lothal) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c15.s1.10) · Pramāṇa
