KAKORIA, the habitational area of the Megalithic people, lies immediately to the n.-w. of the Megalithic cemetery of the Hathinia hillocks. Cairn circles appear to have been a popular burial type as contrasted to cists. Besides the cists are smaller in size in comparison to their counterparts of the Deccan and s. India. Of the burial goods mention may be made of pottery, microliths, gold bangles, terracotta beads and skeletal remains. The ceramic assemblage included the black-and-red ware, \[11.15.1\], black-slipped and the ordinary red wares. No painted sherd was found. - [Previous: v2.c30.131](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.131) - [Next: v2.c30.133](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.133) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.132](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c30.132) · Pramāṇa
