is present in all the vessels, one having even two holes knocked from the inside 
outward. 
Six of the vessels are plain, while five have line or punctate decoration in 
simple designs. One, a rather striking piece, bears a modified scroll of parallel 
lines, carefully executed. The rim, rising obliquely, presents four equidistant 
corners (Fig. 24).

A hone of fine-grained sandstone was found apart from burials.
