Where could those old Subarean kings have found a more logical place to locate their capital, erect their enormous temples, and stone chambers for their gods? The city became the centreof a civilization that spread over other parts of the Near East. In the east there have been only three original and independent civ- ilizations: the Egyptian, the • old Babylonian or Sumerian, and the Subarean, -whose centre was Tell- Halaf.

BILL, 56 Profit Street Rost, Toronto Astnxon Baron von Oppenheini dates his discoveries by means ot the paintad pottery found below the Sumerian or Babylonian level. ."This painted pottery is much earlier than 3,699.,13.0:4", he continu- ed. "It is coksteiopors.tteous with flint and otheSostone leapleinents. The clay from which it 'was Made was a light yellow. 13lack-hrown dye was used in painting the de- signs. It is a dye 'that cannot be imitated. We have tried to imitate it in Germany, but have been unsuc- cessful. This dark brown shade was the original color, which lies since taken on a reddish tint. There is no mistaking the prehistoric pottery which dates with accuracy, the level where it is found. Mr. Woolley of the University of Pelinsylvania found similar pottery at Ur in Lower Mes- opotamia where he is fixcavating be- low the Sumearian stratum. Ur is a long distance from Telllalaf, and the Sumerian art found there is, not the same as our art. The two are independent of each other."
