The characteristics of the OCW usually noted at some sites, viz. rolled edges, porous and powdery surface, ill-firing, etc., are rare at Lal Qila. This major difference may be due to the fact that the pottery here comes from a habitational site whereas elsewhere it belongs to sites that were badly affected by water-logging (Lal, 1968-69, pp. 857-63) or other weathering conditions.
