The animal remains \[15.1\] are largely of the cattle and a few of the deer and goat. A bone in UTN-I is fashioned into a chisel-like blade. A charcoal sample from layer IIa of UTN-I is ¹⁴C dated to 2295 ± 155 B.C. Relatively the end of Pd IV is assigned to c. 1250 B.C. It is inferred that ash-mounds of the Raichur \*doāb\* are of the early Neolithic cattle-keepers who periodically deliberately burnt their cattle-pens containing thick accumulation of cow-dung in a ritualistic way for the construction of new ones. It is thought that this tradition survives in the ritualistic burning during Holi and Diwali festivals. - [Previous: v2.c47.166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c47.166) - [Next: v2.c47.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c47.168) - [Up: v2.c47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c47) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c47.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c47.167) · Pramāṇa
