The post-cremation circular pit-burials at SONPUR and suspected such burials at CHIRAND are noteworthy. The SONPUR burials, having varying diameters of 1·82 to 2·12 m and a depth of 91 cm and containing ash, charred bone pieces and sherds of black, red and black-and-red wares and a handmade jar with 5 kg of charred rice, suggest that the people burnt their dead and buried their charred bones, and also cultivated rice.
