The material assemblage of the Chalcolithic people was varied in its contents. The use of copper is testified by the find of two broken celts. Another valuable find is a circular gold piece. The largest number of finds are the beads, some unfinished prepared from various materials such as agate, carnelian and jasper, steatite, shell, paste and terracotta. Among other objects the foremost are human and animal figurines, in the latter of which the humped bull is quite popular, terracotta discs, toy-cart wheels and bangles and others used for domestic purposes. Domestic objects include stone querns [6.19], rubbers, ring-stones, balls, etc. A few bone points were also found.
