The children were buried in two red/grey-ware urns which were placed in the pit mouth to mouth horizontally. In the case of adults the entire body was placed within the pit, but before doing so the portion below the ankle was chopped off—a practice not followed in the burial which has been identified as that of the ruling chief. Vessels, probably containing food and water, are found placed inside the pit. - [Previous: v2.c36.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.30) - [Next: v2.c36.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.32) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c36.31) · Pramāṇa
