2 May 1929 Part 2

A.E.C. and Dr Nielsen went to Zibb Atup [sic] with 3 men to dig out the cistern.  It proved to be full of water, so after they had baled it out they went away, as it was impossible to retrieve any pottery from the mud.  She and Dr Nielsen visited the quarry, agreeing that the obelisks had nothing to do with the Sanctuary.  A.E.C. photographed the Byzantine pots and found two cisterns on the E side towards which the baled out water had poured.  They returned by the N. route; Dalman’s Processional Way; but had to be carried by Mahmud to the 2nd terrace, where the snake shrine is, and again to ground level.  Dr Nielsen revised his view of the moon-shrine and thinks it too far from Zibb Atup [sic] to have anything to do with the Sanctuary.  A.E.C. photographed all the afternoon from the Edomite High Place. ​
