...June the heat became so intense that the work was transferred to the eastern part of the temple area, where the excavations which had been suspended in '96, were renewed. The level of Ur Gur was first reached and later a large piece of the Naram Sin pavement was exposed. The statues found were all broken, which goes to confirm the idea that probably in the third century B. C. the temple was sacked.

The car tracks have been placed in position on the Boston-half of the bridge, and will be extended when the planking is all laid. The Cambridge approach is being filled...
