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.
