The reports given below cover excavation work in Iraq from June 1973 to December 1974. The information on each site has been kindly provided by the director of the excavations, unless otherwise specified, and the final version checked by him wherever possible. The sites are arranged in alphabetical order, according to their best known name. For a variety of reasons the collection of reports is not quite complete on this occasion: recently renewed excavations at Warka and Larsa were too late to be included, and work by the Directorate General of Antiquities at Hatra, Samarra, and in one or two Parthian or Seleucid sites on the eastern outskirts of Baghdad could not be covered. Reports on the work at Hatra, where Building b in the north-west corner of the Temple Enclosure yielded very interesting results, and at Samarra where work began at Qubbat al-Suleibiyah near Qasr al-Ashiq and was continued on the Friday Mosque, will be found in the forthcoming issue of Sumer, and we hope to include reports on all these excavations in our next annual report.The material for this report was assembled by Mr. J. N. Postgate, and the Editors are glad to acknowledge his efforts. They join with him in expressing their gratitude to all those colleagues who have so willingly contributed information on their work, and especially to Dr. Isa Salman, the Director General of Antiquities in Iraq, for his generous co-operation which alone has made the compilation possible.

The 1950S

The buildings on the citadel of Nimrud, ancient Kalah or Kalḫu, constitute a most impressive monument (Fig. 1; Postgate and Reade 1980), but the sporadic way in which they have been excavated leaves many questions unanswered. One puzzling area lies north and north-east of the great North-West Palace. It includes the ziggurrat, and the shrines of Ninurta, of Ištar Šarrat Nipḫi (formerly read Bēlat Māti) and of the Kidmuri (or Ištar Bēlat Kidmuri). Their interrelationships have yet to be established, and texts refer to further gods resident at Kalah. Excavations in this quarter were conducted by Layard, Rassam, Rawlinson, Loftus and Smith in the nineteenth century, and by Mallowan in the 1950s, and were resumed by staff of the Iraq Directorate-General of Antiquities in the early 1970s. This paper summarizes some of what we know or may deduce about the area, and defines some of the remaining problems; it does not include, except in passing, the relatively well-known Nabû Temple to the south. I have endeavoured to refer to all items except sherds found during British excavations in the area, but have not attempted the detailed publication which many of the objects, groups of objects, and pottery records may merit.A possible arrangement of the buildings in this area of Nimrud about 800 BC is given in Fig. 2, but it is a reconstruction from inadequate evidence. The relative dates, dimensions, locations and orientations of many excavated structures are arguable, and the plans published by different excavators cannot be fully reconciled. Major uncertainties concern the ziggurrat, the citadel-wall, the Kidmuri shrine and the area between the North-West Palace and the Ninurta shrine. There are many minor uncertainties. My reconstruction includes speculative features, while omitting some excavated walls which I regard as secondary.

Schliemann on his plan of the acropolis of Mycenae marks a terrace wall on the north-west corner of the ‘summit’. Steffen on his plan of the acropolis marks the same wall as one of his ‘kyklopische Stutz- u. Abschnittsmauern’. Dr. Leicester Holland included the wall in his plan of the palace made during our excavations there in 1920–23. Then we thought that this wall was a terrace wall which supported the end of the inclined roadway which climbed the Citadel from the Ramp to the north-west Propylon (9) of the Palace with its paved forecourt (7).In 1939 in excavating the rock shelf to the east of the Guardroom (3, 4) and below the terrace wall which supports the temple foundations on the north, we found a much ruined wall (Fig. 7, Z) on the very edge of the rock shelf, which here drops abruptly to the north. This wall was associated with a Middle Helladic deposit. Above this lay a somewhat disturbed Late Helladic stratum where the splendid ivory group of two women and a boy was discovered. The wall is a packed construction of largish stones about 1·25 m. thick, and the deposit behind it rests in a hollow in the rock and was at most 1·25 m. deep.

The Government of Afghanistan recently sent two missions to India, where they were warmly welcomed and made many friends. In September 1946, the Government of India sent in return a small mission to Afghanistan to establish contact between the respective archaeological and historical activities of the two countries, with a view if possible to securing closer cultural collaboration. The Indian mission consisted of the Director General of Archaeology in India and his wife ; the Honourable Mr Justice N. G. A. Edgely, President of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal—the oldest learned society in Asia; and Mr M. A. Shakur, Curator of the Pesh#x0101;war Museum, sent by the Government of the North-West Frontier Province as the immediate neighbour of Afghanistan. The mission travelled in two ex-U.S.A. Army vehicles, a six-wheeled personnel-carrier and a jeep, with two Indian drivers and two Indian attendants.

Beneath the surface are the remains of an enormous platform of mud-brick, undoubtedly an Old Babylonian temple platform. Only the core of the platform was preserved.

The stoa investigated by the Americans in the N.W. corner of the agora of Athens has won with good reason a notable place among ancient monuments, both as a subject of topographical controversy and as an interesting architectural type. I should like to turn to it again for a short time and in particular to examine at greater length than was possible in a brief review C. Anti's theory of its genesis, given in Chap. IX of his Teatri Greci Arcaici. As the non-committal name given to it in my heading shows, I should like for the present to steer clear as far as possible of the difficult problem of its identification. Anti confidently assumes that the building was the Stoa Basileios; indeed his theory of the origin of the type depends partly on the correctness of this assumption. But the identification has been the subject of a good deal of dispute; even H. A. Thompson, while putting forward with sober confidence his view that the stoa is both the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios and the Basileios, admits in the end that ‘an element of uncertainty must persist’. I accept Thompson's view, but certainly not with sufficient confidence to use it as a corner-stone in building up any theory. It is very distracting when one finds that whereas Anti links up his Royal Stoa with oriental palaces, A. Rumpf looks the other way in space and time and regards his Royal Stoa (a building of very different type—the spacious hypostyle hall west of the North-West Stoa and north of the temple of Hephaestus) as the Stammutter of the Roman basilica. ‘They ran away in opposite directions, and vanished to the east and to the west.’ Both of course use the name Basileios to support their identifications. One may perhaps be excused for giving up the riddle for a while and concentrating on the architectural form of the North-West stoa as we undoubtedly have it.

Temple is a religion place for ancient culture, Yogyakarta have many incridible temples one of the biggest is Prambanan temple. 2 Km to the north west direction from Perambanan temple located the Kedulans temple who still on renovation projects. Kedulan Temple is located in Tirtomartani Village, Kalasan District, Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region, at coordinates 7° 44' 28" South Latitude and 110° 28' 5" East Longitude, with an altitude of 168, 45 meters above sea level. Kedulan Temple was found in a collapsed state and buried volcanic material from Mount Merapi. Based on the results of a stratigraphic study conducted by Pramumijoyo, et al., (2005) this temple is covered by 8 meters thick lava which is composed of 14 layers of sediment. To obtain information on the existence of archaeological objects that are still buried around the temple in this study, geophysical measurements were carried out using the geomagnetic method which aims to determine the potential for buried archaeological objects in this case assumed to be igneous rocks that have contrasting susceptibility. Based on the geomagnetic signal analytic map obtained, there is a magnetic anomaly which is suspected to be a hidden temple object which is bordered by a black line which is about 50 meters to the east of Kedulan Temple. This assumption is based on a high magnetic anomaly value >480 nT which is thought to originate from the temple rock object in the form of andesite rock.

In the annual report of the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Health for 1925 (p. 22) the incidence rates of notifications of pneumonia in four-weekly periods are compared for large geographical groups in England and Wales. These rates show the divergence between the north and north-west and the remainder of the country, and also the fact that the north-west (Lancashire and Cheshire) usually compares badly with the north. During 1923 “in none of the thirteen periods was the rate for the north-west less than 15 per cent, in excess of the all-England rate and in ten it was equal to or greater than the rate for the north.” That these remarks still apply may be seen from the figures for 1930 (Table I). If one compares some of the large Lancashire towns with London the contrast is even greater (Table II). The towns giving the largest number of notifications of pneumonia are Liverpool and Manchester. These towns alone contributed 48 per cent, of the total number of notified cases of pneumonia in Lancashire during 1930. Their combined population forms about 30 per cent, of the total. Great caution is, however, required in drawing deductions from rates of notification of pneumonia, as considerable differences exist between one place and another in the extent to which the obligation to notify is complied with. Mortality rates provide a sounder basis of comparison.
