house above by means of the well-shaped depression already mentioned. In the
section one can see clearly how this depression was filled in from above. It must
formerly have been empty and have formed a means of communication with the
subterranean passage. That this passage is the work of man is shown by the
traces of the instruments with which the walls were made. In places it is cut
through walls of sunburnt bricks. Fragments of sunburnt bricks lie scattered
in the dried mud left by the occasional passage of water. Besides these, there
are also the teeth of camels and a human skull. These were probably brought
in by animals which in later times may have used the passage as a cave or place
of refuge. Our attempt to reach the passage by gallery IV, on the declivity of the
hill, did not succeed. After the examination of the subterranean passage, work
was stopped in the upper digging.
To the three periods of the upper layers we must therefore add a fourth.
As it lies considerably—approximately 13 feet—deeper than the brick pavement,
it becomes a question whether it belongs in an older culture epoch. Such exca-
vation problems can be solved only through the pottery. Now, the pottery that
is represented in the upper layers occurs also in the middle layers, the masses
