Some noteworthy varying features of the burial furniture are: predominance of collared vases and lids with flanged waist in the passage chambers; round-bottomed bowls and three-legged vases and iron objects in moderate numbers in port-holed cist circles; a few pottery vessels and fewer iron objects in the pit burials, and a large number of pottery, particularly tulip-shaped bowls, in the pit burial of another type, both at MASKI; conoids and a large number and variety of iron weapons, etc., in the pit circles at BRAHMAGIRI; high-necked jars and iron objects including some agricultural tools in the sarcophagus burials at JADIGENAHALLI; and tiny pottery vessels in the megaliths in Coorg. At NAGVAND near Hallur a disturbed round barrow is found to be a pit burial having vases of dull pinkish red ware and small black-and-red ware bowls, the former being more akin to the Neolithic pottery of HALLUR, not far away. The urn burials at PUTTUR, s. Kanara, consist of large urns of coarse thick walls containing skeletal remains, pottery and iron objects.
