FIND MANY RELICS OF ANCIENT RACE Excavation Work Being Carried on in Ozarks Elk Springs, Mo, March 30 (By the Assoclated Press) —Shelters be. neath overhanging l!imestone bluffs along the White and Cowskin rivers in the Ozarks of Missourl and Ar. kansas are today giving up to sel- ence the relics of a prehistoric race that inhabited this section upwarde of a thousand years ago. The work of excavation is being done near here by an expedition from the Museum of the American Indlan, Heye Founda- tion. Burled deep in dry dust of centuries beneath t§ ‘e formations ot shelving rock where ' the fancients made their homes, these relics are being unearthed with no little aiffi- culty, A cloud of powdery dust arises as the workers search the de- posits for traces of a civilization that is still unidentified. Use of masks often is necessary. For the present, the anclent people of the reglon are being referrd to by M. R. Harring- ton, in charge of the expedition, as the Ozark bluff-dwellers. They have not been identified as the ancestors of any modern Indian tribe. Traces of Modern Race, In some of the rock-shelters, par- ticularly on the Cowskin or Elk river, | | the expedition has found near the surface traces of a different and || more modern, but still pre-colonial, ' Indian race. These Indians, accord- ' j ing to Mr. Harrington, probably were i the Osages or some related tribe, It 14 estimate¢ that even these speci. mens are at least three or four hun- .M dred years old. Those left by the spear-throwing bluff-dwellers. of the! Ozarks, which also have been uncov- | ered, are probably upwards of a thou- sand years old Everything so far found is purely aboriginal, Mr. Harrington ‘explained, | | not the slightest trace of the white man’s handiwork or influence having been discovered. The specimens in-|; clude basketry, woven textiles, wood- en artlcles, implements of stone and |} bone and even pieces of pottery. Some of the articles no doubt were buried by the apcient dwellers for safe keeping, it is believed by ‘the excavators, while others simply wore out and were discarded or lost in the ashes and trash of generations that has accumulated beneath the bluifs, At some places the deposits have been found so well protected by the overhanging rock formation that they are absolutely dry, which has result- | ed in remarkable preservation. Cause of Expedition. It was a visit by Mr. Harrington at the home in Seneca, Mo, of Dr. W. C. Barnard, who had one of the largest private collections of Indian relics in existence at that time, that|| resulted in the present expedition. hat was in the fall of 1914. ¥ “Among his specimens,” said Mr. || Herrington, “were a number 6f pieces of, baskets, textile fabrics and wood- en articles which gave every evidence || of being prehistoric. Knowing that| such perish'ble articles dating from ! that period are practically unknown east of Utah and New Mexico, I in- |/ quired as to their origin and was|, surprised to learn that they came|} from the Ozarks, especlally from the|! district along the upper White River, |’ where they had been found in dry deposits beneath overhanging bluffs, |} 1 then and there planned to explore |, spme of these rocky bluffs or ‘rock shelters,’ as they are called by ar- chaeslogists, but the opportunity did mot come until May, 1922, when the present expedition set forth l'om the | | museum.” i That expedition consisted of three members of the rauseum staff. It in- cluded, besides Mr. Harrington, C. O. Turbyfill, who had accomparfied Mr. Harrington on previous expeditions, and D. A. Cadzow, who had conduct- | ed a number of Arctic expeditions for the museum. The district in Car-, rol and Benton counties (Arkansas), lying between Eureka Springs and, Rogers, especially about the little settlements of Mundell and Larue,, both on White River, was worked. The excavations were stopped Sept. ! 1, 1922, and the expedition returned to, New York for the public opening of the museum, It returned to the|: Ozarks early in January of the pres- ent year, The work on White River was completed February 14 when the ! expedition, now consisting only of Mr. Harrington and Mr. Turbyfill, |} moved its camp to Noel, Mo. It has been working on the Cowskin River |’ ever since, near Noel and Elk Springs. ! = e = T For Fifty Years America’s Favorite Drink HIRES Household Extract For making ROOTBEER at hame Hires is the old, original ex- tract.
