By: Akkermans, Peter M. M. G..

Abstract
Akkermans describes the few small finds or artifacts (other than lithics or ceramics) that were found during excavation. These items were mostly ground stone tools and ceramic disks that may have been used as spindle whorls. Only the data that pertain to the Ceramic Neolithic (here termed Late Neolithic) were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials)subjects. The Halaf data were not indexed for OCM subjects as there is a separate eHRAF collection on Halaf (M086).
