That most of the ornaments were made locally at Inamgaon, is documented by the find of a crucible and a pair of tongs. Apart from this, a number of houses of the Jorwe people have been laid bare in course of excavation at Ināmgāon. The most important feature of this pattern of settlement is the location of craftsmen’s quarter on the western periphery of the principal habitational area. These quarters were of potters, ivory-carvers, copper-smiths, gold-smiths and of lime-makers. There is evidence that lime was manufactured and preserved as lime balls at Inamgaon.
