The other objects of the Pd include: beads of carnelian, agate, jasper and bone; bangles of glass (the earliest so far in India); and terracotta animal figurines representing the cattle and more particularly the horse. Pointed tools of antlers, commonly regarded as styli [20.5], have been also found, but as there is no evidence of writing these points may as well have been arrowheads. The discovery of an oblong die of bone, with 1, 2, 3 and 4 marks on the four sides, at ALAMGIRPUR and of a plano-convex gamesman in the PGW fabric at Noh indicates that these people played *chaupār*.
