The urns are made of micaceous clay, their shape and size indicating that they are not of the present-day type. The pots are 25·40 to 30·48 cm high and 30·48 to 35·56 cm wide at their maximum, while the necks vary between 10 and 15 cm in width with distinctive stroke marks. Their lids are of two kinds, one like an ordinary bowl and other with concave sides and small flat bases, their average size being 20 cm in diameter and 10 to 13 cm in depth. Except broken bones, some of which seemingly being very slightly charred, some teeth and some oxidized pieces of copper from one urn nothing was found in them. The age of these finds is unknown. But an urnburial recovered form Rakha Mines contained a Kushan coin. - [Previous: v2.c31.331](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.331) - [Next: v2.c31.333](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.333) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31) ## Cites (1) - [Kuṣāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.period.kusana) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.332](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c31.332) · Pramāṇa
