All habitats of the settlement have the shape of a fringed circular section at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees. The floor is made of crushed, well-packed red limestone, with an ellipsoidal hearth. Around the hearth were sculptures of large pebbles made of coarse-grained sandstone depicting a human figure on which only the head was originally shaped, decorated with motifs of concentric circles, spirals and eights. At a later stage, the sculptures take the form of a human figure and become real idols.
