of the citadel, hill was protected on the and side by great earth mounds with wall running along them, and along the Euphrates and its tributary stream (which bounded the town on the north) by ram parts of masonry. Some sections of this river wall were well preserved and ill retained their facing of polished limestone slabe 7ft high, and anything up to 15ft. long; the style of building, with its many angles and returns and with its intra- mural compartments, closely resembles.com tain Egean examples, c.g., the Lown: wall of Phylacopi in Melos. At intervals along the wall there were towers or forta whose interiors were divided up into stora. rooms or guard-chambers for the troops, and three gate-ways gave across to the inner town, these have been thoroughly cleared and show interesting variations of the Hittite gateway plan made known to us by the German excavations at Sijāru. Beyond the earth rampart there lay an outer town, defended in its turn by a double line of brick and stone walls pro- vided with fortified gaten corresponding to those of the internal defence; the
walls were griarusly ruined, but beir line cou

By the evidence of tombs and of objects found in connection with the several lines of fortification these could be nasigned to the thres periods which we have learned to distinguish in the history of Carches. The citadel was first surrounded with a ring wall in the early Hittite period, when the town had scarcely cut-grown the limits of the old acolithis settlement which had occupied and formed the mound The wals and ramparts of the inner town be long to the middle Hittite period which ended, about 1900 B.C. with the disastrous overthrow of Carchemish by the Philistine and, other invaders from the north-west.
