THE UPPER ROOM 



"To make use of the rowyeh, or stable portion of the house, by human beings is not the exception but 

 an every-day occurrence. . . . Many of these dwellings, placed as they are on ancient sites, are built over 

 old caves or caverns which are incorporated with the lower or stable portion." (See text.) Photo by Amer-
