In Megalith VII pots have been seen placed along the edge of the pit all round; in another no bones exist. In Megalith IX, 33 gold and two carnelian beads, four copper bangles and a conch shell have been found. The deposits were finally filled with alluvial clay. The excavator suggests that the pit circles ‘might have been specialized tombs for a particular and restricted social grade or that were macerating pits in which human bodies were exposed on a bier.’
