The Calcanea Of Kuaua Pueblo, New Mexico, Donovan Senter

Anthropology ETDs

Of the human bones which have been studied for racial and functional variations, the calcaneous has received but a paltry stint of attention. As the largest bone of the foot, it is likely to be preserved in a burial and as the most important bone of the tarsus, it offers significant variations, apparently of functional and racial significance. Hrdlička, in his Smithsonian papers, has published more than any other one American physical anthropologist on this bone and has essayed to call attention to its value for further study. Hooton has recently turned his attention to the problem, and Morton, in …

Erosion Control In Chaco Canyon, New Mexico For The Preservation Of Archaeological Sites, William Chauvenet

Anthropology ETDs

No accurate maps have been made of the whole region covered by this report. A very excellent aerial survey has been made of the Navajo Reservation, but this does not extend more than eight miles east of Wijiji, and does not show quite all of the Chaco canyon. No profile or cross-section of Chaco Canyon exists, except for the maps made by the National Parks Service. As these cover only about three-quarters of a mile, they are not of great assistance in matters concerned with the grade of the stream bed. They are a valuable start, however, and they have …

Preservation Of The Murals Of Kiva Iii, Kuaua Pueblo Ruins, Wesley Lloyd Bliss

Anthropology ETDs

A workman uncovered a small fragment of painted adobe plaster in the course of the excavating of the Kuaua (Tiguex) pueblo ruins, on Tuesday, February 12, 1935. These ruins are located on the west bank of the Rio Grande, one and one-half miles northwest of Bernalillo, Sandoval County, New Mexico. Gordon Vivian, in charge of the excavations, told me of this find and the following day we started to uncover paintings on a wall of what turned out to be an underground kiva. Part of the north wall and about one-half of the west wall were excavated, paintings were found …

The Excavation And Repair Of The Quarai Mission, Albert Grim Ely

Anthropology ETDs

The ruins of Quarai are owned by the University of New Mexico. The fifteen acres of property contain the mission and mounds of the early Tiwa Pueblo. The mission--church and monastery--which stands northeast of the pueblo houses was constructed during early Spanish times.

From May, 1934 to May, 1935, a project of the Civilian Construction Corps has been in progress, excavating and repairing this mission. The program, at the present time, is not complete, but it is expected that this phase of the project will be finished by late summer this year.

All the work was purely for the purpose …

A Prehistoric Habitation Site On The St. Croix River, Ralph D. Brown

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The recent report of the discovery of a prehistoric rock shelter or cave habitation site on the St. Croix River was received with considerable interest, for such sites have often been the source of important information in the field of archaeology. However, they are very rare in the Northwest; and, although in southern Minnesota there are in some places many caves and shelters, there is no evidence, with very few exceptions, that any of them was ever occupied. It was possible to excavate this shelter carefully and to preserve the evidences of prehistoric life which it contained. To date, it …

Superstitions Of Grayson County, Elza Fentress

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

For this collection of odd beliefs to serve as an amusement to the curious is not the purpose of this treatment of superstitions. The end sought is not humor or satire. It is not the intention of the author to cast a reflection in any form upon persons who are inclined to be superstitious. A belief in superstitions is by far more widespread than most people would suspect. Is it not true that superstitions swayed the minds of people in earlier centuries? Are we not descendants of these people? We hear many of their songs; their laws were the forerunners …

Personal Adornment Of The Ancient Pueblo Indians, Winifred Stamm Reiter

Anthropology ETDs

When man first struck stone with other stone in conscious effort to change its shape, he first gave expression to the creative impulse that was instinct within him. During the ages that followed he, forced by necessity, directed that impulse into purely utilitarian channels. His need were food and shelter and he was so preoccupied with obtaining them and with devising objects which would help in their attainment that he had no time or need for anything else…. When his material comforts were assured; when he had a satisfactory, well concealed cave to live in, a sufficiency of meat on …

The Ethnobotany Of The Isleta Indians, Volney H. Jones

Anthropology ETDs

This study is an outgrowth of the increasing interest in the history, ethnology, and archaeology of the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. Although much research has been done in this very fertile field, new and fascinating problems are constantly pre­senting themselves.

When one states that the environment greatly influences a people he speaks truisms and common knowledge. The arid South­west with its distinctive flora offers an unusual environment to which the Indian had adapted himself remarkably well. The object in general of this problem has been to study the reciprocal re­lation between the Isleta Indian and his plant environment; speci­fically, …

The Ethnobotany Of Jemez Indians, Sarah Louise Cook

Anthropology ETDs

The Indians in New Mexico may be divided into two general types — wandering and pueblo. The Athapascan, or wandering Indians, constitute a group which has drifted from the far north into New Mexico, They are more or less nomadic and war-like, and not agriculturally inclined, therefore to a large extent dependent upon their neighbors. The remaining Indians in New Mexico are the pueblos. These groups are independent, peaceful, and industrious, particularly along their respective lines of weaving, basketry, pottery, and agriculture.
