Excavation of the barrow revealed it to be a usual Chalcolithic burial containing fractional burial of a person in extended way, the skull fragments being towards e.-s.-e. and provided with burial furniture: four pottery vessels of MASKI fabric, two crescents, a parallel-sided blade and a plain copper bangle with unforged ends. The cairn packing, peculiar feature, sealing the pit was about 60 cm thick at the centre. - [Previous: v2.c46.214](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.214) - [Next: v2.c46.216](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.216) - [Up: v2.c46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.215](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c46.215) · Pramāṇa
