Archaeologists employ various strategies to investigate social and economic distinctions within a particular culture, such as analyzing burial practices. For instance, the massive pyramids of Egypt, contemporaneous with the Harappan civilization, served as royal tombs containing immense wealth.

In Harappan sites, burials typically involved laying the deceased in pits, though variations can be observed in the construction of these pits. Some were lined with bricks, raising questions about potential social differentiations. However, the significance of these variations remains uncertain.
