The top 1 m layer is dark-brown in colour, while the lower 1 m layer is of light-brown colour that merges with the still lower deposits that are full of \*kankar\* or lime nodules. Most of the finds are encrusted with lime deposits. However chemical analysis through soil testing with acid indicates a buried-soild horizon at a depth varying between 86 cm to 1·27 m representing a climatically wet phase during the first occupation. - [Previous: v2.c38.133](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.133) - [Next: v2.c38.135](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.135) - [Up: v2.c38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.134](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c38.134) · Pramāṇa
