some earth, but nothing else worthy of remark. The positions of these finds
(threshold, pithoi, brick, clay quadrangle, and skeleton) are shown in figs. 44
and 45, the pithoi separately in plate 19.
Particular interest attaches to the clay quadrangle (fig. 46). It has the form
of a box, square in ground-plan, and is built of air-dried bricks, 68 by 47 cm. in the
clear with an interior depth of 60 cm. Externally it is 92 cm. long by 70 cm. wide
and 68 cm. high. Its lower edge can be determined all around, but the top is
much broken. The inner surfaces are reddened and hardened by fire, while the
exterior shows the rough, unburnt, air-dried bricks. This chest has a beam-like
projection on the northeast corner, formed of a projecting air-dried brick, making
a kind of handle. Similar projections probably existed at the other corners.
The earth in the interior of the chest was mixed with charcoal and with
numerous animal bones. A remarkable number of fragments of pottery of group
5, a small clay figure
of unburnt clay, and a
decorated doubly-con-
ical stone bead were
also taken out. Fig.
47 presents the exte-
rior of the chest. The
idea of the whole can
hardly have originated
in a clay technique, for
the beam-like projec-
tion suggests the imi-
tation of a wooden
chest. This explana-
tion is to be considered
in determining the sig-
nificance of the con-
struction. The clay
figure might suggest
that it had to do with a religious rite, but quantities of such clay figures were
found in the surroundings of the chest, both above and below it. The pithoi
standing about point rather to practical significance. On account of the animal
bones, I should call it a place for supplies and food; and the form and origin support
this interpretation. The superficial burning of the interior would be explained
as a protection of the clay walls against moisture.
After the finds thus far mentioned in terrace B had been surveyed and platted
by R. W. Pumpelly, and photographs had been taken of both the whole terrace
and the separate finds, it was possible to remove the finds which had been left
in situ, with the columns of earth that supported them. On April 26 traces of
deeper-lying walls had been observed. These were now followed further as the
terrace was deepened, exposing the remains of several notably thick walls, i. e.,
the constructions of an older period (see figs. 42 and 43).
