My report on the twelfth season of the Oxford-Field Museum Expedition at Kish is based upon the weekly reports of the Field Director, M. L. Ch. Watelin, supplemented by further study of the objects after their arrival in Oxford. I have been able to make use of Dr. Milne and Professor Margoliouth's report on the coins and of Mr. Harden's study of the pottery. The drawings and letterpress for the pottery are entirely Mr. Harden's work. He had meagre assistance from scientific works on the pottery of the Sassanian period, and we desired an accurate classification for this period, for which the abundance of the pottery recovered in the Sassanian site during the last two seasons provides sufficient material. The excavations at Kish have enabled him to classify pottery of the periods Neo-Babylonian, Old Persian, Seleucid, Parthian, and Sassanian.
