*10.3.4 Neck ornaments.* Beads of all shapes and sizes are of abundant occurrence in excavations [10.1], but complete necklaces of beads are rare. Of the prehistoric sites mention may be made of Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, LOTHAL, KAYATHA, NEVASA, CHANDOLI, JUNAPANI and MAHURJHARI. These have yielded necklaces made of semiprecious stones, shell, gold, copper and steatite.
