108 THE ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN ANAU. 
meantime a change occurred in the character of the objects removed between the 
levels of +48 and +43 feet. 
While pottery of the kind characterizing the upper layers was still found, 
it was mixed with an inferior 
hand-made ware, some of 
which was colored red and 
roughly painted in geometric 
patterns, showing a very poor 
technique (group 2). The 
picture changed entirely as 
we progressed downward 
through the layer of débris 
mentioned above as lying be- 
low +41 feet, in which we 
were digging on April 14 and 
15,1904. This layer, which 
is 2 feet thick, is clearly con- 
nected with the remains of 
two walls which came to light 
below it on the west side (cf. 
the sketch, fig. 37). The pottery of the upper layers had here entirely dis- 
appeared. Now and then fragments of the hand-made group 2 turned up, but 
the rest had an entirely new appearance. It was soon possible to distinguish 
several groups—a red, a gray, and 
a light-colored, whitish-green ware 
(groups 3 to 5), all of which differed 
‘in technique and form from the 
pottery of the upper layers, but 
exhibited a developed wheel-work. 
We were already in the presence of 
an older culture-stratum. We can 
therefore say that the plane separat- 
ing the older and newer cultures lies 
in the earth traversed by us on April 
14 and 15, t. e., between +40 feet 
and +37 feet 7 inches. 
The new pottery accompanied 
the finds of the deeper-lying layers, 
the only change being that the red 
and gray ware became more rare, 
while ware made of a greenish clay 
(group 5), was found almost ex- 
clusively. 
As regards the other finds, on April 14 at + 4o feet 8 inches in the northwest 
corner of the digging, we found a copper dagger, which we welcomed as a fore-
