Out of the total number of 15 burials 11 were exposed. They are in the form of oblong pits with soil cushions. Laid in the w.-e. orientation, the skeletons are in an extended position. The ‘right hand in the case of male and left in the case of female is placed across the abdomen’. The grave goods comprise microliths [4.5] and a particular type of shells. The skeletal remains belong to 16 to 30 year old males and females with well-built structures, the average height being 1·80 m. The racial character of the population is different from that of BAGHAIKHOR and LEKHAHIA rock-shelters of the Vindhyan range.
