These have interesting artifacts including flint utensils and shards, amorphous figurines ,"Yoni" stones and perforated slabs of limestone.
From the abandons of the "Roded" type sites and the assortment of the artifacts and the flint utensils found, longevity of the sites from the 8Th to the 4Th millennium BCE we can conclude that in those days folks established complex religion ideology with well established religious rituals. * As the sites spread over 2 square kilometres I have given an approximate GPS position just to show the general whereabouts of the sites.
