Comment - a series of incised decorated stones, many with a polished groove --> shaft straighteners, but with a range of functions; not all had polished grooves: other ones had narrower incisions and polished working surfaces --> polishing and cutting functions additional to the shaft straightener use; other decorated stones weren't used at all; - there was a wide range of complex designs, including more naturalistic examples like a human figurine or a deer head? - bone tools: were common, including a part of a toggle - clay objects: lots of them were found in middens, some with geometrics, some derived from the sealing of organic materials or containers --> early accounting and sealing;
