WILL EB EXPLORED Carnegie Institution Party to Ex- cavate Chichen Itza, Founded in Fifth Century. IS ON YUCATAN PENINSULA Home of Lost Civilization Buried by Vegetation. Excavation of the ancient Maya city of Chichen Itza, religious capital of the vanished Indian civilization that had reached a high state of cul- ture in the Yucatan Peninsula before the dawn of the Christian era, is to be undertaken immediately by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Plans to inaugurate the archeo- logical excavations last fall had to be abandoned because of unsettled conditions in Mexico. As a result of arrangements consummated during the recent visit to Washington of Dr. Manuel Gamio, director of the bureau of anthropology, the work is to be pushed now under the direction of Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley. Trouble Halted Operators, Dr. Morley is ajready in Yuca- tan. He had started for his field of operations last fall when the political disturbances broke out and the trip was temporarily abandoned. Dr. Moriey and his party left for Chicken Itza. May 3. Associated with Dr. Morley are Earl H. Morris, archeolo- gist in charge of excavations; Mon- roc Amsden and O. G. Ricketson, jr., sistant_archeologists, As a resuit of preliminary explor- ations at Chichen Itza made last winter, it was decided to take up first the cxcavation of “the group of a thousand columns,” a section of the ancient city composed of great col- onnaded halls surrounding a plaza of more than five acres in extent Smaller colonnades adjoin it, and the inclosure is dotted with lofty pyri- mids which were once surmounted by claborated decorated temples of carved, stone. Buried Under Vegetation. Abandoned in 1448, Chichen Itza is today buried beneath a mantel of luxuriaut tropical vegetation. Roots have dug their way beneath once richly carved foundations; trees have forced their branches through ruined roofs, and now complete desolation reigns where once a marvelous civilization ruled. To tear away this cloak of living green will present s of the Car- negie Institution’s investigators. Chichen Itza was Younded in the fifth_century of the Christian era by 1 tribe of the Maya race called the tza, which long before had founded other cities to the south. Tho name of the capital means “The Mouths of the Wells of the Itza” and is thus expla “chi” is maya for mouth, “chen” for wells, and Itza is the name of the tribe. The name was selected bgcause of two great natu- ., which remain there to this of the wells was used as a for the water supply of the The other was a place of sacri- and into its forbidding depths st beautiful maidens of the tribe were hurned in times of great drought as sacrifices to supposedly offended rain deities. Rich treasures were poured in after them, and rare bits of j and jade still may be found there by the archeologists. P Births Reported. Charles R. and Iva M. Williamson, girl. Grorge R. and Sarah M.
