The pottery from the megaliths can be classified as: (1) red polished ware, (2) black polished ware, (3) dull Black-and-red Ware [11.15.3] usually associated with megaliths, and (4) bright Black-and-red Ware, distinct from (3). The shapes ware mostly similar to those found in the megaliths with a few special types. Though postfiring graffiti [20.1] occur on a large number of pots, the designs are limited in range. Of the iron objects mention may be made of swords and daggers, certain specialized objects like tripods and hoes or adze-like implements, an iron pan and a hollow chisel, two tubes of uncertain use and part of an iron trident.
