the central sun; also one article where four pjJ form a
cross round the sun, and the rest of the space is filled
with stars. Fur-
ther, a. few small
vessels with suspen-
sion rings were
found also on the
Tower, as well as
2.5 very ordinary
earthen plates,
which have been
turned by the pot-
ter, whereas all the
other articles ap-
pear to have been
made by the hand
without a potter's
wheel; about half
of the plates were
gut out unin-
jured.

In digging to
the left and right
of the Tower, a number of other interesting objects have
been found since my last report; for instance, at a depth
°f 2. meters (6£ feet), a number of very neat although ordi-
nary vessels with small rings on the sides and holes in the
mouth for hanging them up, which have hitherto only been
met with much further down; at a depth of 3 meters (10
•eet) a small cover, with the owl's face and helmet of the
llian Athena, of very good manufacture; then, at a depth
°f 112 feet, a small terra-cotta whorl with three stags in
the circle round the sun. At a depth of from 5 to 6 meters
(Joi to 20 feet), I found a great number of small knives
o» silex in the form of saws. At a depth of 10 meters
'33 feet) I discovered a very curious instrument of brilliant

No. 157. A Trojan Dish with side Rings, and Plates turned
by the Potter (Tower: 7 m.).
