Bangles, chisels, fishhook of copper, wheeled bird and animal figurines, beads, bangles and balls in terra-cotta, few steatite disc beads, bone points and shell bangles are among the antiquities of this period.

The period II is represented by the three structural phases, and the significant items of this period are terra cotta humped ball figurine, discs, toys and cart wheels. The terra-cotta sealing including a Yaudheya seal bearing a legend in Brahmi character and a bull figure characterize the period III.
