The discovery of rice, wheat, barley, *mung* and *masur* in a charred condition and a few burnt clay pieces with paddy-husk impression bear witness to the cultivation of these cereals and legumes [2]. Bones of animals, birds, fish and fish-scales and remains of shells and animals are indicative of the non-vegetarian food practices of the people. The occurrence of bones of the elephant, rhinos, buffalo, ox, stag and deer suggest the association of the people with these animals.
