Additional information from the article text: "The uncovering to some extent of the white limestone pavement (Plate X), which in 1896 inspired the hope that the Agora might be found near at hand, and so led to the choice of this field for our first serious attack. At a short distance to the south of Trench III, our starting-point, the pavement reaches the foot of a broad flight of more than thirty marble steps not yet entirely uncovered, which, as we now know, led up towards the Agora close at hand. By several soundings we proved the existence of the paved way in the other direction to a distance of about a third of a mile, almost to the northern edge of the ancient city, and there remains little doubt that this was the straight road to Lechaeum."
