Thirteen clay artifacts other than pottery were collected. They are classified as figurines, tablets, earrings and a disk.

(a) Figurines

Seven fragments were found. The one nearly complete is missing only the head and legs (Fig. 14:1, Plate XX:4), The entire surface is decorated. The basic pattern of decoration consists of straight and curved, incised lines, 1-3 mm in width and 1-2 mm in depth, creating zones of cord marked or smoothly polished surfaces. An important decoration motif is the spiral pattern.

Figure 14: Clay artifacts. Figurines (Scale 1/2). 1 (K-113); Human figurine (fragment). No head and legs. From layer E (Plate XX:4). 2 (K-114); Human figurine (fragment). Fragment of right arm. From layer C (Plate XX:3). 3 (K-115); Human figurine (fragment). Fragment of arm or leg. From layer E (Plate XX:6). 4 (K-116); Human figurine (fragment). Fragment of leg. From layer C (Plate XX:20). 5 (K-117); Human figurine (fragment). Fragment of arm or leg. From layer B (Plate XX:1). 6 (K-118); Human figurine (fragment). Fragment of leg. From layer E (Plate XX:7). 7 (K-119); Possibly human figurine (fragment). From layer E (Plate XX: 8).

Plate XX: Clay artifacts (Scale 1/2). 1-4, 6-8; Figurines, 5,13; Tablets, 9; Disk 10-12; Earrings.

Of the six fragments one is thought to be part of a head (Fig. 14:7, Plate XX: 8), one an arm (Fig. 14:3, Plate XX:3) and the other four are probably parts of legs (Fig. 14:2, 4-6, Plate XX:1, 2, 6, 7). The arm and legs all have decorations. The techniques used in these decorations are straight and curved, incised lines, 1-2 mm in width, circular dots, 1 mm in diameter and depth, and incision-and-dot designs (Fig. 14:5).

(b) Tablets

.Two fragments were collected. One of them is decorated on both sides, with straight and curved lines, 1-3 mm wide and 1-3 mm deep, and dots. 2-3 mm wide and deep (Fig. 15:1, Plate XX: 5). The basic motif seems to be semicircular and curved zones of punctuations, 8-10 mm in width, but the complete motif cannot be seen because the piece is a fragment.

Figure 15: Clay artifacts. Tablets (1, 3), disk (2) and earrings (4-6)(Scale 1/2). 1 (K-120); Tablet (fragment). From layer C (Plate XX:5). 2 (K-125); Disk (fragment). Pottery disk with ground smooth edges. From layer B (Plate XX:9). 3 (K-121); Possibly tablet (fragment). From layer D (Plate XX:13). 4 (K-123); Earring (fragment). From layer B (Plate XX:12). 5 (K-122); Earring (fragment). From layer B (Plate XX:10). 6 (K-124); Earring (fragment). From layer B (Plate XX:11).

The other one is a small fragment only tentatively identified as a tablet (Fig. 15:3, Plate XX; 13). It is decorated on both sides with incised lines, 1-1.5 mm wide and 1 mm deep. On one side is a crater-shaped low relief about 3 cm in diameter with scratched lines on its ridge.

(c) Earrings

Three pieces belong to this group. All are ring-shaped fragments (Fig. 15:4-6, Plate XX;10-12)

(d) Disk

This artifact was produced by grinding and polishing the edges of a potsherd to make it round in outline. There are shallow incised lines, 0.5-1 mm wide, on the upper surface. These lines are part of the original pot decoration.

As with artifacts of other materials, clay artifacts are relatively greatest in quantity in Layer E (Table 13).
