Vats commented that the Cemetery H (burial) pottery is strikingly different from the characteristic pottery of the town sites, both at Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. The clay of this Cemetery H pottery is generally of a finer texture, better levigated and puddled and at the same time softer and more plastic. It turns a deeper red and has a brighter red slip on it. The distinction between the two classes of pottery is equally observable in their paintings which have little or nothing in common with each other. (MSV, 275) It is believed that Cemetery H potteries are of later dates.
