An important feature of the Jorwe Culture is the mode of the disposal of the dead. Usually the adults were buried in an extended position, whereas the children were accommodated in two coarse, hand-made red grey ware urns placed horizontally mouth-to-mouth in a pit. The pit for both men and children was dug in the courtyard of the house. In case of adults the portion below the ankle was deliberately chopped off because the people probably did not want the dead to go away.
