Lumps of finely made lime in the shape of balls have been found mostly from late Jorwe levels at Inamgaon (datable to first millenium B.C.). Sometimes these have been carefully stored in pots. In one house of late Jorwe phase a large number of lime balls were found. This indicates some people were engaged in the manufacture of lime. Significantly a heap of shell, was noticed near the house, but no kiln.
