It revealed in its earliest open-air habitational deposit non-geometric microliths blunted-back blades, lunates, awls and burinated tools. The next upper layer had in addition a few small sherds which can be divided into three goups: ill-fired ochre-washed, handmade, of coarse greyish section; thin sectioned and with ochrous red slip; and also thin-sectioned but better fired and well-made. The next upper deposit had microliths of both non-geometric and geometric types alongside the pottery of the earlier deposit. Iron objects were only superficial. - [Previous: v2.c29.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.50) - [Next: v2.c29.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.52) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.51) · Pramāṇa
