These are of three kinds: (a) part of round pottery jar, (b) cylindrical pits dug in the ground with or without brick lining, (c) pear-shaped pits dug in the ground with or without brick lining. There was only one jar-furnace, Fb, for making potteries. This kind of furnace with charcoal as fuel is still used by gold and silversmiths in India.
