The archeological evidence supports the historical in this particular, and several fragments of cloth were found in our excavations in the western mounds of the village. These fragments were of cotton and agave fiber, of cotton alone, and in one instance of the hair of some unknown animal.
Professor Frieze, the head of the department, outlived him and was succeeded by Francis W. Kelsey, Rochester, '80, whose labors in behalf of the classics, and as president of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome, and the Archeological Institute of America, have been widely recognized.
While my archeological work at certain points in these interesting mounds of Awatobi was more or less superficial, it was in other places thorough, and revealed many new facts in regard to the culture of the inhabitants of this most important pueblo. I found it inexpedient to dig in the burial places among the sand dunes, on account of the religious prejudices of my workmen.
"One certainly wonders," said Caesar, "if Saint Peter's is not one of the buildings in the worst taste that exist in the world." They got out in front of the steps. "Your friend is probably well up on archeological matters?" asked Caesar. "Who? Don Justo? Not in the least."
The so-called "Greniers de Caesar," strange, unexplained constructions caverned in the soft rock, are proved to be the work of a later age by that same indefatigable Abbé Chevalier to whom we have been already indebted for so much archeological research. A possible explanation of them is contained in an old Latin history of the castle, which goes down to the death of Stephen of England.
The gentleman who has disappeared, Mr. John Bellingham, is a man well known in archeological circles. He recently returned from Egypt, bringing with him a very fine collection of antiquities some of which, by the way, he has presented to the British Museum, where they are now on view and having made this presentation, he appears to have gone to Paris on business.
From all my studies on this question, to which I have devoted my life I shall await the end of my respectable career with the sense of having emptied tuns with a historical theological and archeological tone!" It is impossible to describe the jovial grimace and tone with which Dumoulin pronounced and accentuated these last words, which provoked a general laugh.
The following account was prepared as a more exhaustive discussion of the results of my summer's work. The memoir is much more extended than I had expected to make it when I accepted the invitation to collect archeological objects for the Museum, and betrays, I fear, imperfections due to the limited time spent in the field.
I heard Kennedy ask as he opened our door the next morning, just as I had finished dressing. He had admitted a young woman, who greeted us with nervous, wide- staring eyes. "It's it's about Archer," she cried, sinking into the nearest chair and staring from one to the other of us. She was the wife of Professor Archer Northrop, director of the archeological department at the university.
The former of these, as I learned from the names scribbled on its walls, had previously been visited by white men, but so far as I know it has never been mentioned in archeological literature. My attention was called to it by Mr Schürmann, at whose hospitable ranch I outfitted for my reconnoissance into the Red-rock country.
