Sahni mentions a large earthen jar near a bathing platform in Trench A (f), near the circular structures: “Another little structure consists of a paved platform surrounded by a single course of brick laid on-edge which might have been a bathing platform as a large earthen jar was standing on one side of it” (p. 77).

Underneath the structure, with paved platform, he found “a mass of cremated human bones”.
