As many as 200 beads have been found. Of these glass alone accounts for nearly 50%, followed closely by terracotta which constitutes nearly 25%. Shell, carnelian, agate, jasper, bloodstone, chert, opal and bone are the other materials for beads of different shapes. Amongst the semiprecious stones the largest representation is that of jasper, ten, followed respectively by carnelian, eight, and agate, six. Bloodstone is represented by two beads and opal, chert and bone only by a single sepcimen each. A noteworthy discovery is a turtle-shaped pendant of shell.
