meantime a change occurred in the character of the objects removed between the
levels of +48 and +43 feet.
While pottery of the kind characterizing the upper layers was still found,
it was mixed with an inferior
hand-made ware, some of
which was colored red and
roughly painted in geometric
patterns, showing a very poor
technique (group 2). The
picture changed entirely as
we progressed downward
through the layer of débris
mentioned above as lying be-
low +41 feet, in which we
were digging on April 14 and
15, 1904. This layer, which
is 2 feet thick, is clearly con-
nected with the remains of
two walls which came to light
below it on the west side (cf.
the sketch, fig. 37). The pottery of the upper layers had here entirely dis-
appeared. Now and then fragments of the hand-made group 2 turned up, but
the rest had an entirely new appearance. It was soon possible to distinguish
several groups—a red, a gray, and
a light-colored, whitish-green ware
(groups 3 to 5), all of which differed
in technique and form from the
pottery of the upper layers, but
exhibited a developed wheel-work.
We were already in the presence of
an older culture-stratum. We can
therefore say that the plane separat-
ing the older and newer cultures lies
in the earth traversed by us on April
14 and 15, i. e., between +40 feet
and +37 feet 7 inches.
The new pottery accompanied
the finds of the deeper-lying layers,
the only change being that the red
and gray ware became more rare,
while ware made of a greenish clay
(group 5), was found almost ex-
clusively.
As regards the other finds, on April 14 at + 40 feet 8 inches in the northwest
corner of the digging, we found a copper dagger, which we welcomed as a fore-
