In this connexion it is interesting to observe that, at this very spot, has been found the defaced terra-cotta of a statuette which might have been an object of worship.³ The other structure found on this level is a confused mass of brick-remains in which a thick wall 30 feet in length, resting partly on a solidly built platform, stands out prominently. A small square seal of white plaster in perfect preservation was sticking to this wall. The next lower stratum is represented by the somewhat better preserved structure which had been laid bare in this area and a number of tunnels left by the brick diggers. The seventh stratum will probably be found to be occupied by a building of considerable magnitude, though so far only a portion of its floor has been exposed. This floor consists of two courses of brick laid as stretchers and headers on a strong sub-stratum of pounded brick.’¹
