light-gray. It came from terrace C, between +9 feet 5 inches and +21 feet
2 inches. At the same point there was found an angular disk of marble (S.K.
243; fig. 335; plate 41, fig. 1). It remains to be
determined of what material the bead (S.K. 24)
shown in fig. 336 and plate 41, fig. 17, was made.
It is cylindrical, with depressed upper and lower
sides, consisting of soft brown material, and was
found in terrace B, April 11, 1904. A nearly spheri-
cal light-blue glass bead (S.K. 125) is also striking
on account of the material of which it is made. It
is shown in fig. 337 and plate 41, fig. 3, and was
found April 19, in the dump of terrace B, which
had been en-
larged; it may
therefore have
come from the
surface of the
hill.
A button
of dark-brown
lapis lazuli
(S.K. 219; fig.
338; plate 41,
fig. 2), belongs
more in the
class of the
older lapis-
lazuli ornaments. It is remarkable for its
notched perforation. It was found in the
outer digging, between +2 feet 2 inches and
+48 feet 2 inches, in a layer where very few
fragments of pottery were found, although
fragments showing the technique and forms
of the older pottery occurred occasionally,
together with those of the younger kind.
We can probably assign to the older
culture a pendant of marble (S.K. 224; fig.
339; plate 41, fig. 13) found in terrace B,
between +21 feet 5 inches and +23 feet
7 inches, but I mention it here because it was found on the day that the terrace
was widened outward. Lastly may be mentioned a small clay knob (S.K. 84;
fig. 340; plate 42, fig. 7) from the mixed layers of terrace A, between +23 feet
4 inches and +25 feet.
