The carts invented so far were intended not only for such ceremonial ceremonies, but also for the normal functioning and movement of people and goods or agriculture.
As for the ceremonial cart, prints of organic materials such as mineralized wood parts and plant decorations were also found. The carriage was in the hall in front of the barn, where the remains of three horses were discovered in 2018.
