“EPLORERSINUR OPEN RIH ERAVE Latest Tomb in Abraham Country Believed to Ante- date Previous Finds. By the Ascociated Press. PHILADELPHIA, March 13.—The oldest grave thus far found in Ur of the | Chaldees, the home of Abraham, is belleved to have been uncovered by | archeologists of the joint expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum | and the British Museum. ‘The grave is remarkable for its archi- tecture, and. although plundered in} antiquity, still contained a number of cbjects of unusual interest. H The discovery was learned here in o report received Sunday from the ex- | pedition, which has brought to a close its sixth season’s work in ancient Mesopotamia. | Find Guards at Door. | €. Leonard Wooley. director of the | expedition, reported that excavation of | the newly discovered roval tomb proved | unusually difficult because it lay be- neath 40 feet of hard mud. The director wrote of the discovery: “When we found the tomb the ! guards lay at the open door and the chambers were empty of all save what Tobbers had overlooked when they plun- ' dered the grave thousands of _vrnrs‘ ago. “Archite ly it is ‘The whole grave pit is filled by the tomb, three vaulted chambers built and remarkable. | roofed with limestone rubble, and in| each chamber part of the corbelled ceil- | ing and the apsidal end are preserved ; intact. The walls preserve much of the | Aaron B.

There were | many beads, two or three inlaid shell | handles of staffs and a small gold cup. | “In the farther chamber was a most remarkable thing—a plaque, originally | of wood. 23 inches long and 7!z inches wide, covered on both sides with a mosaic in shell. red stone and lapis. ‘We have as yet little idea of the charac. ter of the scene portrayed by the inlay but there are rows of human and ani mal figures, and when the plaque cleaned and restored it should prove | one of the best objects found in the cemetery.” CITIZENS ASKED Sergt.
