Smithsonian Excdvates Ruins in New Mexico

Washington, D. Can expedition organized by
the bureau of American e~thnology of the Smith
sonian institution and the Museum of the Amer
lean Indian, Heye Foundation of New York City,
under the immediate direction of Mr.. F. w. Hodge,
ethnOlOgist in charge of the bureau mentioned,
has just concluded its first season of eXcavating
among the ruins of Hawikuh in western New
Mexico. This pueblo was one of the famed
"Seven Cities of Cibola," which was seen by Mar
cos de Mia, a Franciscan friar, in 1889, and was
the scene of the death of his negro guide and COM
paniOn. In the following year the pueblo was
stormed by Francisco Vasquez Coronado, the cele-
brated Spanish explorer, who almost lost his life
in the attack. The Zuni occupants of Hawikuh
fled to their stronghold a few miles away; the
Spanish took possession of their village, which
Coronado called Grenada, and while there wrote
his report TO the viceroy of Mexico, giving an
account Of his expedition up to that time and
sending various products Of the country and ex-
amples of native art.
The excavations were commenced at the close
of May by Mr.. Hodge, assisted by Mr.. Alanson
Skinner and Mr.. E.. F.. Coffin of the Museum of
the American Indian. Work was begun in a great
refuse heap forming the western slope of the ele-
walton on which Hawikuh is situated. This refuse
was found to contain many burlals of Zunl dead,
of which there were three types-remains Gre
mated and deposited in cinerery vessels accom-
panied by food and water vessels; others buried
at length, or in abnormal ~postures without accom-
paniments; and usually Remembered; others
still deposited at length with head directed east
ward and with them numerous vessels of earth
enware, great quantities of food, and the per-
sonal tools and ornaments of the deceased. In
all, 237 graves were opened during the three
months sdevoted TO the work In which quantities
of pottery vessels Of various forms and with a
great range of decorative painting, were uncov-
cred. Among burials of the third type mentioned
were several skeletons of members of the Zuni
Priesthood of the Bow, with their war parapher-
MALTA, including bows and arrows, sacred paint,
war clubs, and their personal or ceremonial be-
~longings.
A Franciscan mission was established at Hawi-
kuh in 1859 and continued in operation until 1910,
when the pueblo was abandoned on account Of
Apache depredations. Considering the length of
time since the village was forsaken by Its inhab-
itants, the remains were in a remarkably good
state of preservation. The deposit Of great guam
titles Of food In the graves, especially boiled corn
on the cob, had the effect Of ~decaying the bones
but of preserving the materials that usually more
readily perish, such as baskets, fabrics, and OBJ
jects of wood. many Of which were saved by i'm
mediate retainer Many very beautiful things
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-10-06

found in association with the remains include
eight objects of turquoise mosaic, consisting of
ornamental hair combs, ear pendants, and hair
ornaments, some of which are so well executed
as to be among the finest examples of encrusted
turquoise ever found in America, and far exceed
ing the mosaic work of the Hopi Indians in Ari-
IONA today. Of the fabrics, various examples
were recovered, and indeed in one instance the
clothing of a woman was so well preserved that
it was possible to study the character of her
dress from neck to feet.
The pottery of the Hawikuh people, as men
toned, possesses a wide range of decoration and
coloring. Most of the designs are geometric, but
numerous highly conventionalized figures of birds,
as well as many lifelike forms of quadrupeds,
the eagle, the butterfly, the tadpole, and the corn
plant were found. Many of the vessels are deco
rated with a distinct glaze, black and green pre-
dominating. The vessels consist chiefly of bowls,
ranging in size from tiny toy affairs to some as
large as 10 inches in diameter but there are also
large and small water jugs, and black, undeco-
rated cooking pots, duck-shaped vessels, and the
like.
The finds include, among others, the cere-
monial paraphernalia of a medicine man, compris-
Ing his medicines; a turkeys egg containing the
bones of the embryo and accompanied by a food
bowl; several skeletons of eagles, turkeys, and
dogs that had been ceremonially buried, and de-
posits of pottery that had been broken in sacri-
flee and deposited in the cemetery not as burial
accomplishments. 1t was the custom of the Zunis
of Hawikuh to kill" all the vessels deposited
with their dead by throwing them into the graves.
and this was likewise the case with other house
hold utensils, such as metates and manos used
in grinding corn. Some of the vessels escaped in
jury, while all of the fragments of the broken
ones were carefully gathered and will be repaired.
The site or Hawikuh covers an area of about
$50 by $50 feet, so that only n comparatively
small part Of the site was excavated during this
season. The refuse was found to attain a depth
of 14h feet in the western slope, and 1t viii
probably be found to reach q depth of at least
lS feet before the walls of the summit of the ele-
walton are reached.
An interesting discovery consists of the remains
of many walls entirely beneath this great deposit
of refuse, showing that the site was occupied in
prehistoric times long before Hawikuh itself was
built.

In one of the passages from the description Of
the raid made by General Sullivan on the Five
Nations in his memorable punitive expedition dur
ing the Revolutionary war, it is set forth that
among the rows of corn were found cucumbers
and w~atermelons so delicious that the raiders sat
down to eat of them, even though the hour was
two o'clock in the morning. The Indians intro
duced melons of all kinds from southern climes,
and by extreme care adapted them to northern
temperatures.
1t was after the advent of Columbus that the
Indians of this continent became proficient In the
cultivation of the Irish" potato. The tuber was
brought from the Andean heights by Spanish ad-
venturers and was introduced In the Southern
part of the United States. Before the American
Revolution, however, the Indian experts were de-
veloping many varieties of it and the Iroquois
were especially proficient as growers of the root,
of which there are about 200 varieties. Potato
meal was originally an Indian product. Vans and
sweet potatoes were raised in abundance.
The Indian farmer also raised many kinds of
vegetables and was experimenting with many
others before the advent of the European races.

Hettie
BY HI AKERS
Copyright, by W. 9. Chapman.)

Hettie trudged back and forth from
the box factory where she earned Just
enough to pay for the little, cold bed
room, the scanty meals and the cheap
clothes, which were necessary to ex-
istence. Her hours were long and her
pleasures few. Was it any wonder she
went when she could to the nickel
movies, and reveled in the delights of
another world than hers? Even when
the films did touch her own world, and
the poor working girl was lured away
into perilous paths, she so often was
rescued by handsome young men, or
kind, rich women that she 'lived hap
PLY ever afterward." Hettie shrank
from entering the paths of vice. The
movies had done much for her in the
way of warning, more perhaps than
many ermon might have done. But
she was only seventeen, and she
wanted some of the good things, some
thing of the joy of life. She did not
want to suffer the horrors that hap
pened to the screen heroines, but she
did want to be rescued"
If only some rich woman would
adopt her. That was the dream that
became her constant companion. 1t
had happened to these other girls quite
frequently, why not to her? The hand
some young hero seemed such a remote
possibility, that the probability of be-
ing adopted appeared to be a great
deal more likely to happen. In her
prayers for the latter boon Hettie had
especially stipulated that the woman
must be rich, for to be adopted by a
poor woman, and. put into the kitchen
to do all the work did not seem to offer
a pleasing alternative. 1t might prove
an even worse life than that of the box
factory.
Never having remembered her own
parents, there entered also into her
dream the longing for the kind of af-
lection which only the mother heart
can give. 1t is not to be supposed that

placed on deck close to the rail- where
it could easily be thrown off to the
ice. In addition to this, the whale
boats, fully equipped for a week or
ten days voyage, were ready at n mo-
ment's notice to be lowered. Each
boat, besides the required complement
OF oars, %oarlocks, boathOoks, a liquid

the handsome young man played no
part in the girls vision. No, he was
always there. But she reasoned he was
quite sure to appear at the proper time
If she could go into the society where
he was to be found. Clearly the only
way out of it was to be adopted.
1t had not entered Hettie's mind
that some slight preparatory education
in grammar, and the mode of speech
required in cultured society might help
some in the process of acquiring an
adopted mother. She had had q rudi-
mentary school training in the institu-
ton from which she went to the box
factory, but her association with the
girls of that section of the town, had
not added to the elegance of her Ian
guage.
Poor little Hettiel she was bright,
kindly, and well-meaning, and her de-
sires were only the normal ones of
youth. Once She told a girl compan-
ion of her wish to be adopted, and was
so laughed at and r~ldiculed, that she
ever after kept her aircastles to her
HNAA' out iSl OlGulu WOulu HOI GOWQ.
1t became q kind of obsesslon.
Whether it was because her vision
was in this misty region while her
small body vas in the path of rushing
traffic in the great city, or whether
fate took q hand, there came the awful
impact of the automobile, and Hettie
knew no more till she awOke in a mar
row, white bed, and looked up into the
faces of a doctor and nurse. She gazed
about for the adopted mother, but
there were only nurses moving around
the place. Clearly something had hap
pened, and the adopted mother ought
to be a part of it. When she tried to
move she found it very painful, and
she was quite stiff with bandages. She
asked for an explanation, and was told
she had been struck by an automobile,
but that she would be all right in a
few days. She asked whose automo-
bile 1t was, and the nurse answered 1t
was Mrs. Burlson's, a very kind lady
who was very sorry, and had brought
her there, and told them to do every
thing they could, and hat she would be
responsible for the pay. Hettie felt
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-10-06

sure her dream was coming true, and
she asked the nurse when the lady was,
coming again. '
"She didn't mention anything about
coming again." she answered. Then
seeing the girls disappointed look, she
added: "But l dare say she will"
"Of course she WILL" was Hettie's
confident reply.
Hettie suffered a great deal of pain.
But after all, she told herself she must
expect that. All the girls on the screen
who had acquired adopted mothers,
and lived happily ever after, had suf-
fered in some way beforehand.
The next day she was told a mes
senger had come from Mrs. Burlson,
and did she wish to see him? OF course
she did.
A young man came In carrying fruit
and flowers. He could not for one min
ute have been taken for the handsome
hero. His face was quite plain,
bronzed, lean, and with the disadvan-
tage of a turn-up nose. But his eyes
were honest, his mouth kindly, and his
form straight, and we'll knit. He came
with a mixture Of pity and diffidence to
the forlorn little figure on the cot. He
told her Mrs. Burlson wanted to know
how she was, and had sent her the
fruit and flowers. Rather awkwardly
he told her how sorry he was. Then
Hettie noticed he wore a chauffeur's
dress, and guessed he was the one who
ran her down. But she was too busy
thinking of Mrs. Burlson to bear him
any grudge, and she asked him when
the lady was coming? He did not seem
to know, but said he would tell Mrs.
Burlson that she would like to see her.
The chauffeur came every day to see
her. The second time it was to tell her
that Mrs. Burlson was out of town, but
that she had left word for him to in
quire every day about Miss Hettie Bax-
ter. She found out his name was
julius Frost, and was always glad to
see him, because he brought some mes
sage from her probable adopted moth
er- julius was at first so filed with
remorse at having driven over the girl,
he was more awkward than usual in
expressing himself, but after a time
this wore off a bit, and he cheered the
patient with jolly stories, and cheering
promises, of how he wanted to take
her for some rides in that very car
when she was able to go. All this
seemed in Hettie's mind to point to the
fact of a probable adoption into the
family.
AT last one day Mrs. Burlson came.
She was a very pretty, beautifully
gowned young woman, much too young
to be thought of as q mother, even an
adopted one, and she spoke to Hettie
In a cold ~patronizing way that so
crushed and disappointed the girl, that
julius found her in tears. He was so
kindly sympathetic that he drew from
her the cause. She had hoped to find
some n who would want her, even
take her in her home-as her own.
Then julius found voice for the
words he had wanted to speak.
Little girl" he said, 81 want you
awfully. I'd take better care of you
than Mrs. Burlson. 1t wouldn't be lots
of money, but 1t would be a comfy lit
tie fiat for you and me. And she never
could love you half as much as 1 do"
The answer must have been quite
satisfactory, for the day Hettie was
able to leave the hospital on the arm
of Julius, she vas heard to say softly
to him: Honey, this beats getting
adopted like dollars do coppers."

much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the
Indian was an able pomologist. 1t was not I'M
usual $50 years ago for Indian orchards TO have
1,5OO trees, all of which had been duly pruned
and cultivated by the people we are prone to re-

introduced such fruits as the p~ersimmon, the paw
paw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.
Primitive as the manual part of the farming of
the Indians may seem, their agriculture did very

Science points strongly to the theory that the
horse had its origin in this Western world, but
the animal disappeared many aeOns before the

horses nor bullOcks, and had he developed a pillow
he would have had no animals TO draw it. He had
no wheels, rakes or such devices, for the wheel
had never been in use among primitive races of
the Americans. The dog-drawn litter, or travels,
was about as near as the Indian ever got to a
wagon. His agricultural implements were few
and simple. What with his hoe and mattock, his
willow rake and his planting stick, he had run
the gamut of tools. What he lacked in equipment
he made up in enthusiasm and skill.
