The two floors, the earlier one of light-brown grey banded ash and the later pinkish-grey ash, were separated by the earliest 1·35 m thick scoriacious layer: the next floor was sealed by the second scoriaceous stratum. The scoriaceous deposits are due to periodical burning, intentional or otherwise of accumulated cattle dung, The absence of slag \[16.9.4\], metal or crucible \[16.4\] eliminates the possiblity of their being the result of any industrial activity. - [Previous: v2.c37.1305](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1305) - [Next: v2.c37.1307](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1307) - [Up: v2.c37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1306](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1306) · Pramāṇa
