technique and form to the older ceramic group y, and are particularly valuable on
account of the remains of painting which they bear. To the same layer (+24.75
feet) is to be referred the broken pot of ordinary technique and probably also
the erect stone mortar whose lip stood at +25 feet 10 inches. Whatever occurs
below this must equally belong to the older culture; therefore the four skeleton
graves, together with their burial gifts of copper and bead ornaments, are of especial
value as being the first burials of the older culture to be found.
The only ques-
tion that could arise
is whether the pottery
fragments found in
the succession of
layers may not inval-
idate their evidence.
In terrace II, as well
as in terraces I, IV,
and V, the upper layer
abounded in frag-
ments of the red and
gray monochrome
ware of group x, and
fragments of the y
group were relatively
rare. As we dug
deeper the relation
between these two
varieties changed,
until at last they were
reversed. The red
monochrome ware
occurred only in iso-
lated cases below +26
feet. Still, it is re-
markable that in
terrace II this isolated
occurrence of the
group x reaches some-
what deeper than in
terraces I and IV, and
the group disappears wholly only below +22 feet 5 inches. This circumstance
might be explained by the accidental falling of fragments during the excava-
tion; but it is also possible that in ancient times they by chance became
buried deeper here than elsewhere. A third explanation would be that the skele-
tons at +22 feet 5 inches were younger than the pithoi in situ. In this case the
skeleton graves with their burial gifts would have to be assigned to the younger
