they had so completely destroyed them with their picks that an examination of
their position and of other conditions was impossible. That these were burials
seemed probable because beads were found with them and a feeding-cup was found
near the remains of a child's skull; we are in all probability justified in considering
these as having belonged to the burials (see plate 9, fig. 1). The feeding-cup is
of the same red monochrome ware already found in the terrace. It was proper,
therefore, to assume that the burials belonged to the same people whose culture
remains have already been discovered in the highest layers of the hills. This
assumption was soon to be further confirmed.

When the terrace was lowered for the examination of pots a and b, a skeleton
(a) was exposed on the west side of the terrace, at about the same level as the
three stones mentioned above—that is, +30 feet. It was exposed by Mr. Warner
and proved to be the skeleton of a child lying in the regular contracted position
(Hocker position)* on the right side. The burial gifts—beads of lapis lazuli—
agree with the beads found in
terrace 1a (cf. the systematic
presentation below). When
the skeleton, stones, and pots
had been removed, there were
exposed in the north end of
the terrace, at +29 feet, two
more pots, c and d, in position;
near these, in the northwest
corner of the terrace, the half
of a mealing-stone; and finally,
between this and the pots, but
a little deeper, at +28 feet,
another skeleton of a child (β,
No. 2). The position of this
skeleton is shown in fig. 27 by
a small board (cf. the vertical
section). Of the two newly-found pots, only one (the western one, c) resembles
the bake-ovens already described. Here again only the upper part of a pot was
found, the diameter being 12.4 inches. Its contents are earth mixed with char-
coal and a white ash-like substance, and the earth below it is burnt red; while, on
the other hand, the earth surrounding the pot above is scarcely reddened. The
eastern pot, d, stands full formed in the earth and is much blackened on the
outside. The contents differ from those of the bake-ovens. They also consist,
indeed, of much charcoal and earth, but this is so loose that one must assume it
to have fallen in from above, while the earth in the bake-ovens is smeared on
the walls and burnt hard. We may, therefore, consider pot d to have served
