The Buni culture is known for its peculiar pottery with incised, geometrical decorations, and the fact that it yielded the first Indian rouletted wares recorded from Southeast Asia.[3] Clay potteries were later developed with evidence found in Anyer to Cirebon.[4] Artifacts such as food and drink containers, dated from 400 BC to AD 100 have been found, mostly as burial gifts.[1]
