The terracotta finds include two unique female figurines [17.2], several bangle pieces, plain and incised balls, wheels [16.19], beads, gamesmen [6.7.2], pieces of crucibles [16.4] and pottery discs [6.73]. A few objects of indeterminate use have also been recovered. Out of the two fascinating handmade female figurines one is in a good state of preservation. It has a short head, bulging eyes with holes, in the centre denoting pupils, pinched parrot-beaked nose, depressed cheeks, broad jaws with protruding lips divided by a horizontal slit, a protruding chin and an elongated neck. The hands have not been modelled, each shoulder having a transverse hole for hanging purposes. It has prominent straight breasts with pointed nipples. The rest of the body is broken. The second figurine differs from it in two respects it does not net-sinkers [6.16], etc. Bone objects include arrow-heads, points, styluses, etc.
