THE MARCHES OF OLD KUA-CHOU   [Chap. XXVI

Débris-covered areas.

Chronological evidence of coin finds.

the large mound near e, the point to which the line of the ancient canal could be followed," I crossed an extensive ` Tati ' area, as shown on the map, for a distance of about three miles from south to north. All the way potsherds of dark grey and red clay strewed the ground in plenty. Their look for the most part was older than that of the badly decayed clay walls of houses which were met with at points marked on the map. Is it possible that most of the abundant pottery débris dates back to an earlier occupation of the ground than that which the remains of the dwellings indicate ? The physical conditions on ` Tati ' ground would fully admit of this.

As regards the ruined town and its immediate vicinity, I have stated above that such chronological evidence as is obtainable from the prevailing ceramic remains picked up there points clearly to occupation during Tang and Sung times. It only remains to add that the evidence of the coins, which necessarily is more definite, fully agrees with this, but at the same time leaves the possibility open of occupation having started somewhat earlier. As reference to the list in Appendix B will show, the total of 38 identifiable copper coins or fragments of such is made up of 25 pieces showing the legend K`ai yiian, first used under Kao Tsu, A.D. 618-27, but reproduced on coins through most of the Tang period ; 1 of Ch`ienyüau, A.D. 758-60 ; 2 of Sung times ; with the addition of Io Wu-chu pieces, of which one may be attributed to the Sui dynasty (A. D. 581-618), while the rest are evidently earlier.
