at all characteristic of terrace B, and the gray is rare. True, there occurred very fine gray fragments with incised decoration, even in the deeper layers of terrace B ; but group 5 unites all the layers in a large, uniformly developed culture epoch.
Objects of copper are numerously represented among the finds. Altogether 25 were exposed. Besides various fragments, there are weapons like the dagger and lance-point mentioned above, utensils such as awls and chisels, and ornaments, pins, rings, pendants, and peculiar ornamental disks.

On the evening of the following day, in the middle of the terrace, at the level of + 26 feet, we came upon an apparently rectangular structure of burnt air-dried bricks. An examination showed this to
