Lithic blades and geometric microliths such as lunates and trapezes form an integral part of the cultural equipment of this Pd. Made primarily on chalcedony, these stone implements were manufactured individually by each household. Stone was also used for mace-heads, balls, hammer-stones, querns and pestles \[6.19\]. Another material widely used was clay as evidenced by the find of terracotta discs \[6.7.3\], skin-rubbers \[18.4\], lamps \[6.11\], wheels, toys and whorls \[6.25\]. - [Previous: v2.c39.173](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.173) - [Next: v2.c39.175](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.175) - [Up: v2.c39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.174](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.174) · Pramāṇa
