In 1926 two Neolithic celts, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, were found in the course of a tank digging. One of them, found 4·57 m below the ground level, has a sharp and round cutting edge with both sides of edge ground and is polished up to 2 cm. The other, picked up from 3·04 m below the ground level, is unfinished, with a slightly curved cutting edge. Broken at the top, it has a groove for hafting. Small patches of \*kankar\* (calcium carbonate) adhered to its surface. Both are made of fine-grained schistose phyllite.
