NLT Thomas Tenks University Museum, Philadelphia, Penn.

Excavating since April first found large intact Hellenistic Roman tombs. Entered through fine early built dromos with gable stone roof. All finds removed some jewelry bronzes and much potteery important for chronology. Think advisable leave antiquities notebooks and films here but bringing plans sections photographs and lists. No news of Hill or Youngs.
