v1.c22.s3.t2.3

Gulati found the presence of millet-cells and epidermal hairs, besides fungal spores, in the earth sticking to the copper beads. This, according to him, would indicate the use of cattle-dung in the burial rite. In addition, he noticed the presence of oil-globules in the material surrounding the string, which suggests the use of oil for anointing the body. Polished celts and an adze were also recovered. The few copper objects included fish-hooks, wires and a bangle.
