Among the miscellaneous objects of bone, ivory and semi-precious stone, finds included bone stylus, awls or borers variously from Period I, II, III. A unique perfume casket of bone from Period II, an ivory comb, a carnelian stick with a square section from Period II deserve mention. The well-known pully-shaped ear-ornaments made of jasper, glass or crystal, black jasper, accounted for as many as five out of total yield of eight, the remaining three being one each of red jasper, crystal and glass.
