This is actual evidence. I said perhaps, because the full
archaeological report is not yet published; I am citing that it was a
post-cremation pot burial based only on newspaper reports and
sporadic seminar papers or monographs, published by the excavator,
Dr. Bisht. It is a sorry state of affairs that many archaeological
reports are not published in India. Only two reports have come out
during the last 50 years: S. R. Rao's Lothal and Dwa_raka and S. M.
Ali's Daimabad excavations.
