Beads, the major ornament are of shell, steatite, terracotta and siliceous stones. Metal ornaments are represented by gold spiral ear ornaments from TEKKALAKOTTA, a bead from T. NARSIPUR and a copper spiral ring from TEKKALAKOTTA, a bead from T. NARSIPUR and bangles and pins from BRAHMAGIRI. The metal objects are from the upper phase, but stone and terracotta ones continue in the phase from the earlier. The introduction of metal again reflects a Chalcolithic impact.
