with the closely compacted culture-strata of the three older periods. This ratio
being obtained from the parallel accumulations of a considerable period of time has,
as we shall see later, for our purpose both an archeological and a geological value.
After the sediments had reached the height shown in shaft D, there came
a change, and this part of the plain was dissected, for a little farther eastward,
in shaft B, we find a new series of sediments marking a renewed aggrading. Now
when this new growth had reached the level indicated on the section by an arrow
in shaft B, it received fragments of the pottery peculiarly characteristic of the
