The burials proper would seem to give an impression from the published descriptions that complete bodies in crouching and bent positions were stacked into the urns. The general evidence of the urn-burials in Chingleput and other Dts of Tamil Nadu and outside is that only secondary and fractional burials are found in the urns. Pudukkottai has not yielded any bones even in the urn or in the tomb in a controlled excavation carried out by the ASI.
