The Kayathans seem to have been rich in copper; 28 copper bangles were recovered from a single pot. The two copper axes with sharp cutting edge and a lenticular section are the finest examples in the Bronze Age of India; they were cast in a mould, unlike the later Chalcolithic artifacts, which were merely hammered out of sheets. A chisel is also reported from Kayatha.
