But those that are too shallow or have thin bottom within habitational deposits are perhaps soakage pits. However,, on the basis of the well-heads, location inside rooms, pavements around them, use-marks in some, \*e.g.\* at BANGARH and SISUPALGARH, and their being excavated sufficiently deep into the natural soil, some of them could have served the function of draw-wells. Such wells for drawing water are still common in certain parts of the country. - [Previous: v1.c19.s15.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.23) - [Next: v1.c19.s15.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.25) - [Up: v1.c19.s15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15) ## Linked texts (1) - [Sisupalgarh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sisupalgarh) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c19.s15.24) · Pramāṇa
