A ncienf Jericho To pic Canadian. Club Speaker Guides at Jericho point out! to unsuspecting tourists city1 walls which fell a thousand' years before Josbua's famous, assault, Dr. A. D. Tu shingbam I told Women's Canadian Club members on Monday afternoon. Dr. Tushingbam, bead of the Division o! Art and Arcbaeol- ogy o! the Royal Ontario Mus- eum who was in Jerusalem and Jericho witb an arcbaeological expedition in 1952-53, gave bis audience by picture and narra- tive, a fascînating glimpse of ancient Jericho. Oldest City Many cities bave been on the site now being excavated, and recent excavation bas reveal- ed a city of around 6800 B.C. on the lowest level, and an- otber dating from 6,200 B.C. Prior ta tbis discovery, it was tbougbt that the earliest time at wbicb man settled in vil- lages was in the fifth millenium B.C. Furtber excavation on the present site may prove that Jericho was founded in 7500 or 8000 B.C. As the oldest city known in the world, arcbaeolo- gical findings are of tbe great- est importance, Dr. Tusbing- bam pointed out. Trenches bave been cut down tbrough the 50-foot bigb mound to bed rock, revealing strata wbich represent the civiliza- tions which bave flourisbed there and perisbed. The situa- tion is in an oasis of the Jor- dan valley. From the eminence of the mound can be seen the nortb end of the Dead Sea and in the distance the Judean bilîs in whose caves were found the Dead Sea Scrolls. Masters in Stone These ancient people were masters in building witb stone,j and when it is remembered that'j tbey had only stone tools to work with their achievements are amazing. A solid stone tow- er 30 feet bigh and 20 feet across witb steep staircase leading to the bottomn was one o! the discoveries which re- vealed their craftsmansbip. Human bones found show well formed skulls, and the skulls being burîed separately from the bodies is thought ta indicate a skull cult baving to do witb fertility and the con- tinuance of tbe indivîdual in another life. Skulls uncovered in the later city of 6200 B.C. bad the lower jaw removed and in seme cases were buried un- der the floor of the bouses. Some o! the skulls bad been filled with dlay and the fea- tures modelled in dlay up tai the bair line. It is thaugbt that wigs originally covered the top of the bead and the ears. These beautifully modelled likenesses may bave been the beginning o! sculpture in the round. Polished Floors Parts o! bouses bave been uncovered in tbe city o! 6800 B.C., sbowing that tbough these people were masters witlh stone, they wvere beginners in brick work. Two different types of bricks bave been dis- covered, one shaped like a cigar with a herringbone pattern o! tbumb marks wbich served as the bales for the mortar. Roofs were domed and to overcome the stress caused by this type o! roof, bouses were made with the floor tbree feet below street level, with steps leading down. Walls were beautifully plas- tered and floors plastered and bigbly polisbed. Remnants of reed mats were found, and their impression in some cases is left on the floors due to the great pressure o! the debris on top« of thern. Another interest- ing discoverv in the excava- tions were stanip seals, the old. est known. Silver Show Befare beginning his address, Dr. Tusbingharn told members of the very fine display of od silver now being prepared at the Royal Ontario Museum. This is the museum's 22nd ma- jor special show in the last two and baîf years, serving to higblight various collections in the museum and make the pub- lic more fuliy aware of the wonderf ul treasures found there. Few Canadians realize that the museum at Toronto is one of the largest in the world and bas the finest Chinese col- lection of any museum. The collêttion of silver will include pieces from 1300, ta 1957. A large group will corne from England from private col- lections o! the Duke of Buc- cleuch and others, and other pieces wvill be from collections o! Canadians. Since 1955 Dr. Tushinýgbam bas been ini bis present position at the mu- seum since 1955 and prior to that was professor of Oriental Languages and Biblical History at Queen's University. He wau introduced by Mrs. F. S. Phil- lips and tbanked by Mrs. Fred Stevens. President Mrs. E. Withex- spoon presided and Mr. With- erspoon kindly assisted Dr. Tushingbam by operating the projector. Mrs. C. H. Dudley was at the piano for opening and ciosing exercises. For the social half-hour pre.. ceding the meeting, tbe tea table wvas decorated witb a Christ. mas candle centre-piece.
