tion of clay, with traces of fire in its interior. Besides this there were exposed
at different levels five skeleton graves, some of them with vessels as burial gifts, γ
(No. 22) at +25 feet, δ (No. 20) at +23 feet 7 inches, ζ (No. 23) at +23 feet 5
inches, η (No. 26) at +23 feet 2 inches, and ϑ (No. 24) at +25 feet (see fig. 42).
The skeleton previously discovered at +25 feet was designated ε (No. 25) in the
series. Besides these, there lay in the middle of the terrace, at +25 feet 2 inches,
the fragments of an air-dried brick, 17.5 inches long, 8.5 inches wide, and 4.5
inches thick. Lastly, there are to be mentioned four more or less well-preserved
pithoi—pithos a (46.5 inches in circumference, 12.5 inches high), between skeletons
a and γ at +25 feet,
the level of floor;
pithos b (circumfer-
ence 61 inches, height
23.5 inches) at +23
feet, floor-level, be-
tween the isolated
brick and the clay
quadrangle; pithos c
(circumference 56.5
inches, height 20
inches) on the other
side of the clay quad-
rangle, at +23 feet 7
inches, floor-level;
and pithos d (circum-
ference of the pre-
served lowest part 57
inches, height 10 inches), situated some dis-
tance from pithos c, toward the outer side
of the terrace at +21 feet, floor-level. Further,
there was found at +23 feet 5 inches, near
skeleton γ, a peculiar vessel with a beak-shaped
spout (plate 12, fig. 1). Upon further digging
there was found in the wall of the terrace,
below the threshold, the skull of a skeleton, ι
(No. 27). Its level was +23 feet, but it could
not be wholly exposed until the stones forming
the threshold were removed.
Of the pithoi already mentioned, a is of coarse, gray-brown, badly burnt
clay and contains fine earth mixed with ashes; the others (b to d), on the other
hand, are of excellent technique and of whitish-green clay. They were made on
the wheel and belong to group 5. They are, however, in a worse state of preser-
vation than a, the upper part, with the lip, being entirely gone; while of pithos d
only the lowest part with the bottom is well-preserved. This specimen contained
