ABSTRACT
But my business was not tablet-hunting. I wished primarily to continue Taylor's work of finding buildings, which could be planned by an official architect to join me from Baghdad, and if tablets or other antiquities were found in the course of the work, so much the better. On 20 February, the day after the discovery of the fine tablets at ‘A ’ (see plan, Fig. 95), we struck walls at the same spot, apparently of houses. Two days later we found the first brick tomb beneath the house walls, and this we proceeded to excavate, followed by others.
