| Περίληψη: | Four types of artefacts recovered during surveys and excavations conducted at Kota Cina between 2011 and 2016 are discussed in this section. Twenty-one artefacts are hard stone beads, including 19 cornelian beads and two beads made of unidentified stones. The corpus includes also four gemstones. The function of nine small stone finds is impossible to determine with certainty due to their fragmented nature. Apart from a mould and a spindle whorl, fragments may belong to touchstones, ritual tools, styli or kohl sticks. Most of the thirty-two fragments of carved and worked stones, made of various types of granites, are probably fragments of sculptures. |
