Architects Are Important Sardis is unusually blessed in having a ready source of architects. They are not easily available, and few expeditions have more than one. In excavating a site that abounds in architectural remains, the importance of having an architect in the field is paramount. He must sur- vey and record in drawings all the re- mains of buildings before they can be removed to enable the archaeologist to excavate the next level beneath. The drawings that the architect turns out make it possible to see on paper the progress of the work at any given point in the operation. Photography comple- ments but is not a substitute for the drawings.

On the bottom of the same pages is a blurred stamp mark which reads, "Doublette aus der BresL Universitets Bibliothek" indicating that these volumes were acquired by the Breslau University library, only seventy miles north of Niesse, and later sold as duplicates. Finally, on the inside of the cover of the first three volumes appears the bookplate of a recent owner, Sigurd Wandel. Volume IV has a separate his- tory. Both its binding and its rubrication are different from the first three vol- umes; it belonged to the monastery of St. Stanislaus in Upper Glogau, Silesia, a house some sixty miles north of Bres- lau, and it does not bear either the stamp of the Breslau library or the bookplate of Wandel.
