Metallurgical analysis has shown that a low-tin bronze was used in this Pd, the typology of the objects being similar to that from other Chalcolithic sites. These include chisels, celts, arrowheads, nails and fish-hooks. An important piece is a fragment of a dagger or sword with a raised mid-rib on both sides. This unusual feature shows affinities with the weapons from w. Asia, the Copper Hoards \[4.11\] and KALLUR.
