The excavation work in La Draga has uncovered a large number of personal adornments of different kinds and materials: marble bracelets, shell and bone pendants, necklace beads and even a perforated dog tooth. Studies have revealed that some of these “Neolithic jewels” were directly manufactured on the site, such as the beads made with seashells. Without doubt, one of the most spectacular ornaments, probably due to its contemporary nature, is a polished bone ring with a decoration on the top consisting of two small protuberances.
