Interesting is the occurrence of rice [2.2.3] at Lothal, as also of *Pennisetum typhoideum* (*bajra*) [2.2.4]. A rotary quern, believed to be a much later innovation in the subcontinent, is an exclusive find (though its antiquity has been doubted, 6.19). The horse, among other animals, seems to have been known.
