THE RESULTS OE EXCAVATION AT NUSTA ESPANA 



The seats near the spring at :N^usta Espana after excavation. They are cut out of large 

 rocks, so that the platform on which they rest, the seats themselves, and the lower portion of 

 the back are all part of the same rock. Thus only three or four large rocks were used for 

 the_ entire row of seats. The excavations here yielded no results in the way of potsherds or 

 artifacts (see page 520).
