The “Visitors Welcome™ sign will be hung out this Summer at Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, N. Me: Dr. Neil M. Judd of the Museum and leader of the Soclety expedition to Chaco Canyon, made this announce- ment on the eve of his departure from Washington for his sixth and probably last year of work at Pueblo Bonito. This prehistoric apartment house is now considered the most im- portant site of Indian culture in North America above the Rio Grande. Eleven other experts in different flelds, including geology, engineering and archeology, will join the National Geographic Society's expedition at Chaco Canyon. Thirty Indians, blood descendants perhaps of the Indians who occupied Pueblo Bonito a thou- sand or more vears ago, will be em- ployed again to remove and sitt the sand and debris that cover the out- works of the building. Visitors Now Welcomed. Visitors cun now be welcomed to Pueblo Bonito, which is the chief fea- ture of Chiaco Canyon national monu- ment, because the work of removing the sand and debris from the main seciion of th ins of this 800: is finfshed d kivi he rooms and the monial places, safely against the ravages of weather. hile Pueblo Bonito is the large )f the uncient pueblos which is well preserved, und probably as the lead ing city in the civillzation of the Southwest there are seen in (! ruins to he The Valley many_other ico Canyon. vpt } in this valley of ancient pueblos Two objectives are before Geographic Society » sixth year of irs is to determine ihe ug 18 civilizations which The second s to the “stratigraphy.” The latt in running trenches through tn its pre-Columbus days, | S @ counterpart AR, WASHINGTON, D. €, MAY 16, 1926—PART T. four different periods of occupancy.| debris pile of Pueblo Alto, on the The stratigraphic work last year also uncovered some foundations for a broad extension of Pueblo Bonito which was never carried out. These foundations were not previously sus- pected. Importance of Pottery. Fashions are the archeologists' key to period. Just as we fix the Civil ‘War period by hoop skirts and the 1890’s by puff sleeves and pompa- dours, fashions in pottery fix the Chaco Canyon periods. For this reason any bits of pottery which Dr. Judd and his assistants ean recover by trenching are important to round out the mar- velous story which has been revealed by five years' explorations. Since the Bonitians had no written language they had no way of record- ing time. It has been necessary to find another calendar to fix the age of the ruins. Time is fixed in trees by the annual rings. Dr. A. 3 Douglass discovered certain cycles in tree ring formations which agree with sun spot cycles of 11 By ex- amining ring records from samples taken from new cut Western pine, and from pueblo logs which the In- dians salvaged from old Spanish mis- sfons and from logs found in Pueblo Bonito, a calendar has been construc. ted. But there is a break between the Pueblo Bonito logs and the mis- | slon Jogs. Some of the work this year will be directed to closing this gap and thus determining more ex- actly the age of this civilization.
