Comment ornaments: polished beads (differently colored stones, cut or polished), polished bracelets carved out of white marble or dark grey stone; beads and bracelets were also found in deposits (used as dumping areas for workshops) and in graves: one child grave (dug into the side of a cylindrical storage pit) contained a necklace of disk beads, two child graves (between other structures) contained necklaces (one made of dentalium shells, one made of disk stone beads), other graves that were dug into the Early Neolithic deposit contained stone pendants and necklaces with disk-shaped stone beads
