Double burials, the practice of burying one male and one female in the same grave, have been evidenced at the Harappan site of Lothal in Gujarat indicating possible family ties. This is in contrast to the primary method of interring the dead individually. The double burial practice was likely not the norm but shows some variance in funeral customs existed. Lothal's dockyard, bead factories and large warehouse buildings signify its role as a prominent trade center of the maritime Harappan networks.
