You spiral wind the gold wire to a specific diameter as you see here, and then you can cut off individual loops to make a chain. What you see here is just an intermediate stage in the production of jewelry.

You get those if you are engraving gold with a chisel. . . gold is soft enough that you can get a long spiral like that as you push the chisel forward. The spiral forms naturally. What I am surprised about is that the goldsmith did not collect them and resmelt the gold for re-use. Gold, then and now, was valuable and would have been reused. He must have been interrupted in his work and never gotten back to it. . . in other words he was killed, and the killers did not bother to clean up the gold in their pillaging.
