^{page 4 note 2} For the foundations of buildings in damp soil a similar technique is sometimes employed in north Syria to-day.

^{page 9 note 1} In 1947 a further wing of the palace was found running out from the west walls of rooms 17 and 22.

^{page 10 note 1} Note. For the sake of easy reference the rooms are numbered in order from the top left-hand corner; but the description here follows the logical arrange ment of the building.

^{page 12 note 1} At least, it can be presumed to have done so. With the collapse of the terrace edge the NW. end, nearly one-half, of the passage has disappeared.

^{page 13 note 1} This looks as if the alteration were made at the same time as that in the entrance-chamber (7), where again the new work had orthostats.

^{page 16 note 2} A fragmentary skull of a small child found here just before the box was recognized probably also belonged to it; it lay immediately above the box at its SE. end.

^{page 17 note 1} It might be suggested that the fragments of concrete paving found in room 18 came from here, but it is hard to explain why anyone should have been at pains to do that and not to have dug down (if they were treasure-hunters) into the lower filling of the shaft—unless indeed the real treasure of the shaft was only just below the floor and having secured that the robbers knew that there was nothing else worth digging for
