Extract

At the end of each successive season, the collections of antiquities discovered at Brak and Chagar Bazar were divided into two parts, one of which was allotted to the Aleppo Museum, Syria, the other to the Expedition. The Aleppo Museum had the priority of selection. Any object marked (S) in the Catalogue was allocated to Aleppo. Of the remainder, the majority of the objects are in the British Museum, London, and smaller collections of antiquities were also sent to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and to the Museum of Archæology and Ethnology, Cambridge. A representative collection of potsherds, a few complete pots, and some of the Eye-Idols were also sent to the London Institute of Archæology.

All of the most important objects discovered by the Expedition have been illustrated in the eighty-six Plates of this final publication, or in previous numbers of Iraq. The Eye-Idols and the Golden Frieze from the Eye-Temple have been illustrated in colour in the Illustrated London News, in which short preliminary accounts of each season's work have been published; but obviously the information contained in those articles was only a very brief summary, and in many cases has been modified by subsequent discoveries.
