Excavation

Excavation at Watgal was led by a collaborative team of archaeologists from the U.S. and the government of Karnataka. Surface studies and excavations produced black and red ware and pottery dating as far back as pre-historical times. Additionally, there were handmade red and grey wares, predominantly bowls and jars. Three burials were found, two infants and one adult. One infant was wrapped in a white fibrous material while the other was placed in two dull red wares. The adult had no associated artifacts.

gollark: This has never been fixed because apparently the old software does everything they want fine.
gollark: Also, they use Raspberry Pis for some programming education, but connecting to the package repositories they need for updates is blocked by the filtering proxy.
gollark: Sometimes they fail to PXE-boot or something like that and are just stuck displaying a black screen with some error messages on it.
gollark: In my school there are a bunch of displays with "information" on them (mostly news headlines and promotional images of the school) which apparently run Windows, because they frequently seem to undergo updates and sometimes are stuck on a blank desktop (do they not know how to make stuff autostart?).
gollark: Also since integers are nicer than decimal values.
