Besides, some particular architectural features noted in the pit burials are: provision of a ramp to the pit on the e. side closed by a non-functional door-slab (BRAHMAGIRI); bed of ash and lime (MASKI) or husks (JADIGENAHALLI) on the floor of the pit; and division of the pit at the lower level into two subpits by leaving a transverse wall of earth across the pit (JADIGENAHALLI). At JEWARGI and ANDOLA multiple primary burials in the most haphazard way found in the upper part of the \*muram\* filling of the megaliths and at HUNUR some single pot burials containing calcined bones in the rubble packing of the long barrow seem to belong to later periods. - [Previous: v1.c9.s17.94](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.94) - [Next: v1.c9.s17.96](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.96) - [Up: v1.c9.s17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17) ## Cites (4) - [Maski](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.maski) - [Jadigenahalli](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.jadigenahalli) - [Hunur](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.hunur) - [Jewargi](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.jewargi) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s17.95) · Pramāṇa
