In this report the authors discussed the works of man found in the marl-beds under the following five heads—viz. habitations, vessels, utensils, arms, and things of uncertain use. The pottery they recognised as having degrees of quality according to the uses to which the vessels were put. The larger vases were roughly kneaded, the grains of sand were larger and more visible, and the colour of the paste was ash-black inside and reddish outside. They had no glaze. The smaller dishes were made of fine homogeneous paste, with very thin walls, smooth surface, and a blackish surface approaching to varnish. According to their form they might be divided into a great many varieties, as plates, cups, basins, bottles, vases, etc. ([Fig. 68a]). In the makers of this pottery the authors recognised an inclination to vary their handiworks, and this was especially manifested in the various forms and different embellishments of the handles, called appendiculati, which turned up in large quantities. These were ordinary handles with an addition on the top, either in the form of an upright button-like process or transverse bar. To the latter the greatest interest was attached, as the ends of the bars were bent in a variety of ways so as to assume the form of ears or horns as in [Fig. 68b].

Among the utensils they distinguished a variety of industrial objects such as needles, pins, ornamented combs, small wheels, handles, etc., made of bone or horn ([Figs. 69 to 74]). Of stone there were numbers of rubbers, corn-grinders, and grooved spheroidal stones ([Fig. 75]), but very few hatchets and chisels.

Of bronze they found sickles ([Fig. 76]), spear-heads ([Fig. 77]), flat celts ([Fig. 78]), awls ([Fig. 79]), chisels, pins, etc.

Among the objects of uncertain use were classified a series of spindle-whorls of different forms ([Fig. 80]).
