In the excavation were obtained in Pd I a thick and coarse grey ware, burnished orange-red and brown ware, thin coarse and handmade burnished grey ware and a fragment of the Jorwe Ware [11.11]. Incised designs such as crossed, straight or oblique lines and herring-bone pattern appear on the sherds of thick grey ware. The orange-red sherds are painted with curved lines in violet. Throughout this deposit the channel-spouted bowl and vase in coarse grey or buff ware were found with the lip painted in red ochre. Other finds consist of polished stone axes, pounders, a single-fluted core and a large number of clay head-rests [12.15]. Copper is absent. A noteworthy feature is the discovery in a Neolithic burial of a skeleton laid in an e.-w. direction with its hands on the abdomen. The burial also contained two handmade pots of cream ware, a channel-spouted shallow bowl and a clay head-rest.
