Fig. 1). In 1903 I took that line15 as the left flank limit of an advance
from south to north. It was useless, however, to begin this advance from
any points nearer the south wall of the Temenos than those lying" on the
parallel dividing the vertical series of squares F and E; for the area in the
interval had been scooped out by sebakhin during the past four years below
the original surface of the basal mud. Nor indeed were any but isolated
patches of deposit left in the E and D squares.
The men on the extreme right flank of my line found themselves at
once upon a broad wall, running north and south, the east face of which
could not be clearly determined. A breadth of at least 25 feet was
established, but this is by no means the whole dimension. This was
unquestionably the eastern wall of the Temenos or Temple; for beyond it
(as proved by repeated trials) dedicated sherds were not found, and the
deposit seemed to contain only remains of houses. This wall, being based
on the mud, belongs to the first construction. Its bricks are 14 inches long,
and from 7 to inches broad. To the same period belong all the very-
scanty remains of walls found up to the parallel dividing E and D. Every
later structure has been16 cleared away by sehakhin, and heaps of their
refuse lie on the mud, from which some terracotta moulds and several bits
of dedicated pottery, including the ' Herodotus' base (Inscr. No. 0), were
recovered. In a small patch of undisE
