He ascribes much of the culture form- erly attributed to the Hlttltes to the Subareans. "Tell-Halaf Is slowly giving up Its secrets," said Baron von Oppenhelm. "For a long time, we hav-e been going to that part of the Mesopotamia desert where Tell-Halaf If situated and for a long time we hare known there was Important archaeological material there. As early as 1899 the mound was marked dnt for In- vestigation but It was not until 1911 that we began to dig. We were In- terrupted by the war and did not sent another expedition until 1927, after Germany had joined the Lea- gue of Nations. The result of our 1927-29 excavations have been as- tonishing. "Tell-Halaf must have been a gar- den spot In the old daya. U la the centre of a group of oases watered by hundreds of springs. Lying In the midst of a desert waste, It was an Ideal site for a great city. Where could those old Subarean kings have found a more logical place to locate their capital, erect their enormous temples, and stone chambers tor their gods? The city became the centra of 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 Sumtrlan, and the Subarean, whose centre was Tell- Halaf.

"Through my discoveries at Tell- Halaf It was apparent that the Sub- arean culture and art went back to . the third millennium, possibly to 4,500 B.C." Dating by Pottery Baron von Oppenhelm dates his /discoveries by means of the painted pottery found below t&e Sumerian or Babylonian level. "This painted pottery Is much earlier than 3,500 B.C.," he continu- ed. "It Is contemporaneous with flint and other stone Implements. The clay from which It was made was a light yellow. Black-brown 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 has 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 Pennsylvania found similar pottery at Ur in Lower Mes- opotamia where he Is excavating be- low the Sumearian stratum. Ur Is a long distance from Tell-Halaf, and ; the Sumerian art found there Is not : the same as our art. The two are Independent of each other." It was not until 1911 that the first archaeological expedition discovered the site of Tell-Halaf; for there had been drama and secrecy about the buried city. Only because the Bar- on spoke fluent Arabic did he hap- pen to hear a tale being whispered , in the desert about the Bedouin who, digging a grave for his old father, came on a winged monster and oth- i er quer animals which he hastily : covered up and fled. The next year came the plague and a pest of locusts, ! convincing the Bedouins that the j winged monsters had sent the j scourge. Only after much recon- noltering was the site of the desert- ed city disclosed. Superficial- dig- gings at once uncovered an exten- sive area rich In sculptured Images, set In what was later found to be a temple. A Ninety-Foot Excavation "Digging one foot down we began to discover Interesting relics, but It was only after we had dug ninety feet that the great temple-palace stood revealed," said Baron von Op- penheim.
