An appeal to the British public to help carry on the excavations at Ur of the Chaldees was Issued by the British Museum.
The Museum promises all those who subscribe a guinea or more a small piece of pottery unearthed at Ur. The Museum authorities declare that lack of funds may stop further work.
The directors are therefore willing to present to subscribers pottery and other objects of interest. A guinea pays a week’s wages to a squad of Arab workers. All subscribers will also receive a letter telling what was found during the excavations during the week of their contribution.
