Abstract
IN 1919 Dr. H. R. Hall, on behalf of the British Museum, spent three months excavating at Ur. Last summer the British Museum and the University Museum of Philadelphia decided to send out a joint expedition which should continue for a term of years the work begun by Dr. Hall, and clear as much of the site as seemed likely to repay the necessarily heavy cost of a scientific mission. The first season's work of the joint expedition is now over, and the results amply justify the confidence of those who promoted it, and give every promise of even greater success in the future.
