of burnt clay bonded with straw. They are probably remains of a hearth
Moor. On the rock in a room immediately to west (K 3) was found a
' serpent' ring vase in incised geometric wäre (p. 91 and PI. IV. 9).
Passing the street and conduit the diggers found a much deeper
supersoil than on the north. The line of tbis street was investigated to
westward, and the street in G 3 was also explored to see whetber the two
bad connection. The removal of the latest walte crossing these streets was
effected in some cases, after due note bad been taken of their position. To
southward a passage was opened running rougbly parallel to the street line,
and by this exploration was limited. The deep Chambers in the interval

stuccoed room at 8'70 metres, bat no fürther find of importance was made.
The large area, tboroughly cleared to rock to west of the Palace (H 2),
