| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
Differentially eroded reddish-brown sands 10 YR 7 4 and 10 R6 6 , disconformably overlying the ferricrete gravel, they are archaeologically sterile and heavily eroded. These were seen elsewhere in the vicintiy of the site. The artefact context is that of an indurated ferricrete gravel with occassional patches of duricrust with embedded artefacts and cobbles. These overlie a Cenozoic laterite profile. A very high density of artefacts were noted within the small areas of exposed duricrust. |
