PUEBLO BONITO | RESEARCH, THEME Neil M. Judd to Address An- { thropological Society on & Expedition’s Progress. Neil M. Judd, curator of American archeology at the United States Na- tional Museum and director of the National Geographic Society's Pueblo Bonito expedition, will address the Anthropological Society of Washing- ton at the National Museum Tuesday evening, January 16, on the progress which has thus far been made by the expedition. Although- these new ex- plorations of the National Geographic Society have been under way for two years, but little has been made public regarding the results already ob- tained. Only those immediately asso- ciated with Mr. Judd in his researches and those who have made the difficult journey from the railroad to his Gesert camp are at all familiar with the difficulties, the dangers and the f these extensive explora- ven the large collections of turquoise and shell mosaic, of beauti- fu] terra cotta vessels, of stone, bone and wood implements and ornaments recovered during the excavations have been withheld from public view pending their complste examination ) in the laboratories of the National Museum. i Prehistoric Ruin. Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric ruin in northwestern New Mexico, has been called the most wonderful example of aboriginal architecture north of Mex- ico. It was four stories high and contained over 800 rooms; its ground floor area was almost equal to that of the United es Capitol. It was| & whole town in itself, yet, judging by that with which we are all familiar, it can best be described as one of the ' first big apartment houses in this country, for its rooms were divided into suites fot the accommodation of 1he many families who resided there. Such a huge building, available for occupancy in Washington, would do much to relieve the present acute housing problem. So compact was this ancient village, so carefully studied was the arrangement of its numerous rooms, that not only did its 1.500 inhabitants find shelter under its single roof, but they were provided also with their ubrooms for the men. council cha v dignitaries and religious sanctua for the priesthood. AMr. Judd frankly admi problems remain to be solved during the three years the expedition is to continue. Perhaps the most impor- tant of these problems has to do with the age of the great ruin. It had been abandoned and its massive walls had fallen into decay long hefore the Spanish conquerors came north from Mexico to enslave the Pueblo peoples of the southwest. Pueblo Bonito is 80 old, in fact, that no known m exists for dating it by our own sy tem of time measurement. To Determine Age. Apparently the chief hope of asce: taining its age lies in the possibili of connecting the annual ring grow of its ancient timbers with that of the giaut sequoia in California and the huge pines in the Arizona mountains. Some of the latter are 500 years old while the sequola frequent an age of more than 3.000 & given series of annual rings can be found in the latter which agrees with a_similar sel in the roof timbers of Pueblo Bonito, the date of this famous ruin can be ascertained. Much progress in this direction has already been made and it is-expected that the expeditions to bie sent out early next spring will carry the investigations still further toward solution of this extremely important question. If the age of Pueblo Bonito can be de- this unique method ft| be possible, from it, to date mearly every other prehistoric rufn in the southwestern United States, FLYER KILLED BY FALL. Body of Lieut.
