Some of the finds from A. Klaebisch's excavation have been lost. Those that have been preserved are deposited in the City Museum of Sant Feliu de Guíxols . Numerous human bone fragments, shards and teeth were found. In addition, 10 knives (3 large, 7 smaller), six arrowheads , fragments of bell beakers , about 20 pearls made of limestone and steatite and an oval slate plate with flattened edges.
