Terrace B (figs. 42 and 43).—After starting work in terrace B and removing
the superficial loose earth, horizontal layers were exposed in the edge of the hill,
which we had reason to
expect contained unmixed
finds of the older develop-
ment periods of the hill.
To the level of about
+28½ feet the pottery of
the upper layers of this
terrace corresponded to
that of the upper digging
between +40 feet and +37
feet 7 inches and belonged,
therefore, in groups 3 to 5.
A three-sided seal of stone
with figures (a griffin, a
lion, and a man) which
was found between +31
feet and +28.25 feet nat-

point. The next day
(April 15) there came to light in the northwest wall of the digging, at +27.5 feet,
a threshold in situ, composed of several irregular flat stones and a pivotal door-
stone; and (April 18) in
the interior longitudinal
wall, at +25 feet, a skel-
eton, apparently that of
a child. We were now
fully justified in assum-

ing among the remains of
a house, and in addition,
the skeleton grave was
analogous to those of the
North Kurgan.
The deepening and
enlarging of the terrace
progressed several stages,
and on April 20, at +27
feet, there occurred two
skeletons (α and β, Nos.
19 and 21), α being a
well-preserved "Hocker grave" (cf. special report by Warner). On the following
day there came to light in the center of the terrace a peculiar quadrangle construc-
