with nothing by which to date it. The general appearance,
the aggregation of the houses, and the condition of the

old as Khadaluk.

Farther west, the ruins of Uzun Tetti and Ulugh Mazar
proved to be more extensive than appears from previous
explorations. From the shrine of Lachinata for five miles
to the northwest, to Ulugh Mazar, and thence six miles far-
ther to the northeast, I found abundant pottery. There
were also other relics of human occupation, including the
traces of a mud house, the straw of an old threshing-floor,
and even the characteristic pattern of the ditches of ancient
melon fields. The entire appearance was such as to suggest
that the site was not abandoned till a later date than Khada-

quest, and by some coins of the twelfth and thirteenth cen-

northern part of Dumuka. A short distance north of the
