shaft of the east gallery, also, pottery of the groups a and b was found in all 
layers below datum. 
For these reasons, we must look upon still another pottery, group m, which 
occurred within the lowest strata, only as an older and transitory occurrence 
in the evolution of culture I. We will now call this group c, and examine more 
carefully into its technique, form, and ornamentation. 
(c) THIN, PAINTED CUPS OF THE LOWER STRATA. 
(Plate 22.) 
The significance of the thin, painted cups of the lower strata in connection 
with the topography of the hill may be shown by a list of the points at which 
they were found—west gallery shaft, between — 14 feet and — 24 feet (April 2-5,
