But the size is a little smaller with the diameters of the pits varying from 90 cm to 1·05 m. A rare exception is an irregular pit with filling mostly of ash and stone pieces. The skeletons are usually oriented n.-s. with the head towards the n., a solitary exception being e.-w. Both complete and fragmentary inhumations were prevalent. - [Previous: v1.c9.s6.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.44) - [Next: v1.c9.s6.46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.46) - [Up: v1.c9.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s6.45) · Pramāṇa
