Houses are made of mud brick and show two phases, with lime and mud as binding material and clay rammed in the foundation. In ceramics the Lustrous Red Ware and black-and-red ware continue, and coarse red ware is found in a substantial quantity. The vessels are of a small size with thin walls. The core is gritty and smoky though the surface is smooth and burnished. The main types are the deep bowl with a concave-convex profile and carinated shoulder, often with ring-footed, base, short-stemmed bowl, dish with a fully beaded rim and high-necked jar with an ovoid body. The paintings are in deep-black over deep-red and consist of horizontal, oblique and vertical lines, hatched elongated diamonds, intersecting loops, fronds and honeycombs. The bull and deer represent the animal figures. The black-and-red ware has oblique and wavy lines in dirty-white over black. Terracotta animal figures include the horse, bull, dog and pig. Jasper and agate are the material for lithic implements and beads. The animal remains are mainly the \*Bos indicus\*, \*Bos\* (\*Bubalus\*) \*bubalis\*, \*Ovis vignei\*, \*Capra hircus aegagrus\* and \*Sus scrofa cristatus\*. New species like the \*Canis familiaris\*, \*Xancus pyrum\*, \*Chitra indica\*, \*Equus asinus\* and \*Cervus unicolor\* also appear. The charred grains indicate use of \*bajra\* and \*jawar\* \[2.2\]. - [Previous: v2.c44.269](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.269) - [Next: v2.c44.271](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.271) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.270](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.270) · Pramāṇa
