meantime a change occurred in the character of the objects removed between the levels of +48 and +43 feet.
While pottery of the kind characterizing the upper layers was still found,
it was mixed with an inferior
r hand-made ware, some of
which was colored red and
9 roughly painted in geometric
patterns,showing a very poor technique (group 2). The picture changed entirely as we progressed downward through the layer of débris mentioned above as lying below +41 feet, in which we were digging on April 14 and 15, 1904. This layer, which is 2 feet thick, is clearly connected with the remains of two walls which came to light below it on the west side (cf.
the sketch, fig. 37). The pottery of the upper layers had here entirely dis-
appeared. Now and then fragments of the hand-made group 2 turned up, but
the rest had an entirely new appearance. It was soon possible to distinguish
several groups—a red, a gray, and
a light-colored, whitish-green ware
(groups 3 to 5), all of which differed
in technique and form from the

We were already in the presence of

therefore say that the plane separating the older and newer cultures lies in the earth traversed by us on April 14 and 15, i. e., between +4o feet and +37 feet 7 inches.

As regards the other finds, on April 14 at + 4o feet 8 inches in the northwest corner of the digging, we found a copper dagger, which we welcomed as a fore-
