and later lengthened by an additional one, terrace vi. This excavation fully con- 
firmed the observations made in terraces I to ur. Here too, burials alternate in 
horizontal layers with the débris of the clay walls of houses. 
There were also important finds during the examinations in depth that were 
made for physiographic purposes. The layers on the periphery of the hill were 
examined on the south side by means of a shaft (south shaft) sunk to a depth 
of —7 feet. On the northeast side of the hill three successive trenches were laid

out in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the shaft (north diggings, I to m1). 
Of these the first two are of importance in connection with the culture problems. 
In north digging 1 the work was stopped for practical reasons at a depth of —13 
feet. In north ditch 0, on the other hand, a depth of — 24.5 feet was reached; 
and here, as in the galleries, the undisturbed natural surface of the plain was 
reached. North digging Iv and the west shafts are also important in checking 
the observations made elsewhere (cf. Pumpelly’s report).
