OF settlements suggested that here was
promising center for a systematic study of
the painted pottery peoples" An arrange
ment was made with the kingdom oil Iraq by
which the University of Pennsylvania Mu-
scum and the American Schools of Oriental
Research were jointly granted the right to
excavate Tepe Gawra, and since 1890 the
work has been pressed steadily. From 1927
until the Spring of 1882 the excavations were
carried on under Professor Speiser of the
University of Pennsylvania. Since that time
the writer has been in charge of the work.

ward. The topmost ruin. which was hidden
under thin layer of soil deposited by CEN
turies of wind storms, was single structure,
seemingly watch tower. But few feet
underneath it we came upon four small build
ings arranged around court The construc-
tion was of. mud brick - and this, | may
explain, is the building material used through
out the various layers. There was no stone
construction except in the sixth level and
later, where stone was used in foundations;
and of course any wooden construction
perished long ago.
Each level. as it was excavated, was care
fully studied as to architectural detail. All it's
features were photographed inside and out.
and the pottery, ornaments, tools and other
relics were carefully removed and preserved.
Then the walls were demolished - the heavy
rains would eventually destroy the soft brick
anyhow - and the ground cleared for the
unearthing of the next layer.
In this way we have progressed through
twelve layers twelve successive cities -

kingdom of Iraq. as it is now called. On a
clear day one may look north from these ruins
and see, fourteen miles away on the same side
OF the muddy Tigris, an immense mound.
The mound is not so immense today as it
was eight years ago, for in the interim its top
has been sliced off and segment on one side
has been notched down almost to the base
level - the results of archaeological excavation
of the site. These efforts have been richly
repaid by the discovery of some of the most
antique finds of modern times, including
buried temples, tombs, dwellings and other
human remains so old that they carry our
knowledge of civilization back hundreds of
additional years. beyond the earliest settle
n,ents heretofore known, perhaps to the very
beginnings OF life in organized civic COM
munties. Indeed, we may say with con-
siderable confidence that here in Tepe Gawra

have been uncovered the oldest known
cities OF this planet.
For centuries Tepe Gawra has stood there

TO the passing traveller. an obvious bump on
the landscape. To the north are the Kurdish
mountains. but southwark stretches the level
plain of the river valleys. When archeolopsts
began TO come into the country in the Nine
teenth Century. their first interest was the
famous capitals - Babylon, Nippur. Assur,
Nineveh, khorsabad, Ur OF the Chaldees and
Others. Magnificent palaces and temples were
unearthed, huge pieces OF sculpture. monu-
ments and tablets inscribed in cuneiform
writing, and stores of tools, ornaments, house
hold implements. pottery and other relics of
human habitation.
Among the pottery remains were a few
scattered specimens of earthenware marked
by striking geometric designs painted in
reddish colors. ranging from dark brown to
light pink. This pottery is so distinctive, its
antiquity SO great. and its art so individual
that it became recognized as the significant
symbol of its makers. whom we know only as
the painted pottery peoples" We do not
know whence they came. Traces of them have
been found over wide area. and it appears
that about 5000 years before Chris "the
painted pottery peoples overran large part
of India Persia and Mesopotamia. Evidently
they were superior race. dominating the
prehistory Of this birthplace of civilization -
and the interest of Psychologists in them has
rapidly accelerated in recent years.
During 1927 the American orientalist, DR..
F. A. Speiser. was pursuing this fascinating
trail in the Tigris- -Euphrates valley, and it
occurred to him to prospect Tepe Gawra for
the painted pottery. No archeologist had
struck spade into the mound up to that
time. so far as we know. DR.. Speiser explo-
ratory trench had advanced only few feet
before he encountered the foundation of
wall. He ran a shallow excavation up the slope
of the mound. and found layer after layer of
structures. indicating that the site had been
occupied over long period. The succession
