The deceased are inhumed according to Christian canons. Rings, bracelets, markets, necklaces, pendants, amulet-scroll and glass appliances from ornament for head. Jewelry is a work of local masters, but they meet samples of Byzantine workshops from the end of ⅹ to the beginning of ⅹⅴⅰⅰⅰ with an emphasis on ⅺ and ⅹⅰⅰ c. In two graves, beside the head of the deceased, ceramic vessels were found from ⅹⅰⅰ c.
