### [v2.c39.224](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c39.224)

The stone circles give evidence of the interment of full human skeletons, mostly found crushed by the debris above, laid mostly n.-s., with the head to the n. and legs to the s. In most cases a stone circle would contain one human skeleton, but in three cases more than one skeleton has been interred, whereas in one case a twin burial has been resorted to. Along with the dead, Black-and-red Ware \[11.15\] pots, objects of iron and copper, ornaments of gold, etched and non-etched beads of semiprecious stones like agate and carnelian and mostly the remains of a horse as also iron bits and copper face-masks of the horse have been found buried. The most notable evidence is in respect of the burial of a person the lower portions of whose legs were missing but on whose chest was kept a dagger with iron blade and copper hilt.
