Comment Although there are few stone, tooth, and bone beads, their treatment demonstrates high quality craftsmanship. Beads made of various kinds of stones, were formed into pendants of geometric shapes such as simple round, oval, rhomboidal, cylindrical, or pearshape, with a singlehole or with double holes. Bone beads from lang bones of small mammals are common. Tooth beads are generally deer tooth; there is just one tusk of wild boar. Beads made of freshwater bivalves (Unio) are uncommon; there is only one example. The present day Garzan River is its natural habitat, so this scarcity of Unio in the settlement is odd.
