Harringicn, Statc an artist’s conception of the ancient Indi LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.—A “lost city that soon will be a “drowned one is occupying the attention of scientists probing early Indian cul- ture in the United States. It is the largest city ever discc ered of an ancient red men’s civi- lization, and before it is buried un- der Boulder Dam’s man-made sea its miles of ruins will' have been surveyed, mapped and explored for the relics and artifacts which will enable science to piece together and preserve something of the his- tory of a lost people. ‘The searing desert heat of the area once occupied by an egg-head- ed tribe of red men who lived in pits dug in the ground like wild animals until about 500 A. D, makes it necessary for this work to be done in the cool: months of the year. Consequently Mark R. Har- rington, curator of the Southwest Museum, plans to make his last.in- vasion of the October and April. Even then he and his men must endure days of withering winds and | desert dust storms to finish the | » work of uncovering this old-time " metropolis before ‘the 100-mile lake | which Boulder Dam will -oreate, buries it forever.

A thousand years later hundreds of Pueblo Indians came out of Ari- zona and joined them peacefully. T ther they tilled the soil by hand, g: ing corn, beans, cotton and possibly tobacco. They mined salt in the natural caves of the region. These two trives built a large city—the greatest yet discovered of the early Pueblo culture. It stretch- ed for five miles along the panks of the muddy river. Most of the homes, built of adobe and stone, contained eight rooms, but one huge apartment house was unco ered with 95 rooms. This early center of civilization apparently prospered. The resi- dents bartered with other tribes as far as the Pacific coast, for bits |of their pottery and woven goods ‘ha‘.e been found in Indian graves in California. After early summer crops were | harvested, the Indians left their entire city in charge of a few guards and went to the high alti- tudes of the nearby mountains to escape the terrific heat which to- day reaches 120 degrees and above in July and August. Then Came Invasion This peaceful life went along un- | who reported their | state. Mr. interrupted forg about 300 years. Then a horde of savage nomad 1n- dians swept into the valley, slaugh- tering the Pueblos by the thousands and driving the rest from tneir homes. On a high mesa where the ruins of a large pueblo were found, ap- parently occurred the last stand of the vailey tribe, for here were discovered the largest number of arrow heads in the patio and all around outbuildings, the last signs of a bitter fight that took place somewhere around 800 A. D. First trace of the lost city was discovered in 1924 by two broth~- ers, John and Fay Perkins, miners, find to the Harrington was com- missioned to identify and appraise the ruins. From last November until April with 32 civilian corps workers, he dug into the houses, partly uncov- ered only about 80 out of that vast city. Fire places, warehouses and graves, which had been dug with- in the abandoned houses (appar- ently there were no separate ceme- teries) yielded clues to the lives of these people. Types of pottery re- vealed three distinct tribes: the pit dwellers, the incoming Pueblos and the nomads or Paiutes, whose arrow heads indicated they came fighting.
