While the burnished pottery is found in all the layers the unburnished one occurs only in the upper layer. Besides a head-rest [12.5] the pottery types are: the globular pot with flaring rim; lipped bowl; simple bowl; deep bowl; channel-spouted bowl; and lid with knob. A single buff spheroidal terracotta bead has been obtained from HG-III. The stone tools are short parallel-sided blades and fluted cores of black or dark-grey coarse chert, milky quartz and crystal without the evidence of the use of crested guiding ridge technique [16.15.2]. They do not favourably compare with those of the distinct parallel-sided blade industry of the Bhima-Krishna valley. Polished stone axes with pointed butt end of dolerite, spheroids and saddle querns [6.19] of granite for grinding form part of the cultural remains. Noteworthy is the find of a flat copper piece in an early level of HG-IV.
