From the meagre remains, viz., post-holes, floors, etc., we may imagine that a circular hut, with perhaps a conical roof of perishable material supported on wooden or bamboo posts, was the norm. The walls were of mud-plastered woven split-bamboo screens. The floors were made of mud or lime plaster. The prototype of this kind of residence is noticed in comparable Chalcolithic levels of Maharashtra \[4.14.6\]. - [Previous: v1.c9.s14.t2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.4) - [Next: v1.c9.s14.t2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.6) - [Up: v1.c9.s14.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.5) · Pramāṇa
