Extract

The very interesting limestone plaque from Ur, illustrated in pl. v of vol. viii of The Antiquaries Journal, deserves a little more attention than Mr. Woolley has had space to give to it. In design this chariot exactly resembles a number of pottery models that were found in the season 1923–4 at Kish and provisionally dated 3000 B.C. or a little earlier. I note that Mr. Woolley is of opinion that his plaque can be dated 3200 B.C.
