Fig. log. — Ancient dwellings disclosed during the e.xcavations of 19 16. The 

 circular fireplace above the wall in the immediate foreground belonged to a 

 structure which was built upon the floor and which utilized the partially razed 

 walls of a larger house.

 exposed during previous excavations and were traced only with considerable 

 difficulty.
