Finds One of Buried
"Cities of Cibola"
Excavator in New Mexico
Uncovers Relics Where
Coronado Sought Myth

Curious objects left By the peoples
OF two distinct periods Of civilization
have been uncarthed in Western New
Mexico by L. ". Hodge. director of the
Bureau of American Ethnology Of the
Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Hodge
recently returned TO New York after
three months work exeayating mounds.
Two cemeteries of different charac-
teristics were exposed. third was
discovered besides the ruins Of town
about 1000 years old. Jewels. domestic
implements, fabrics and pottery were
found. The blade Of pair Of scissors
linked the period with that during
which Coronado. the Spanish explorer.
pursued his famous search for the
seven cities of Cibola."
Mr.. Hodge was accompanied TO New
Mexico by Alanson Skinner, archeol-
ogist. and +. +. Coffin, surveyor and
photographer. The party represented
the Museum Of the American Indian, in
this city, as well as the Smithsonian In
stitution.
The digging was done fifteen miles
southwest of the pueblo of Zuni on an
Indian reservation.
Indians conveyed tales Of kingly
treasure from the north to the Span
iards in Mexico City. The Spaniards
passed the myth Of the Seven cities OF
Cibola" on for years. until finally an
expedition. under Coronado, was out
fitted IN 1888.
When Coronado came TO the locality
he found only an Indian pueblo. The
natives resented his arrival, but he
conquered and lived with them. The
town was called Hswiku. Coronado re-
named il Grenada. There the Spanish
explorer found several turquoise combs
and earrings.
Specimens of similar jewelry were
found by Mr.. Hodge.
In 1929 the Spanish established a
mission at Hawiku, but in 1870 it was
raided by Apsches and never reoccu-
pied.
Mr.. Hodge started digging on the
western side Of the ancient town. Eff
teen feet below the surface the remains
of town more than 900 years old
were found. In the cemetery most Of
the skeletons were unaccompanied by
traces of food which Indians custom
arily buried with their dead.
In stratum above that burial ground
another cemetery was unearthed. The
dead in this, however. had been eremst-
ed and the ashes buried IN bowls. The
usual offerings OF food accompanied the
bowls.
In a third stratum above was more
recent cemetery. seven feet under the
surface. Practically every skeleton lay
head 10 eastward. The food buried could
be plainly recognized. II included corn
IN tho cob pinou nuts and squaS h.
Mats, baskets. bowls and Jars also were
found. The pottery evidently bad been
purposely broken.

that the Investigations are conducted in

insure the city's interests.
an dealing with these cases referred
70 the department after application TO
a founding home" Mr.. KingsbuTy's
memorandum states in this regard, at
is proposed that they be dealt with
exactly as large numbers OF such cases
now applying 20 the department are
dealt with and as such cases are dealt
with ordinarily in other large cities
and counties; namely, each case being
considered carefully and fully on its
merits.
"A mother IS no longer permitted TO
surrender her baby once and for all be-
cause she knows Of no other resource
al the moment Of dire necessity. Such
separation is occas ionally necessary,
for instance. VIXEN he mother Is very
9oung. when she is suffering from some
serious mental or physical disease. or
when she is hopelessly unfit TO care
for the child In great majority OF
cases. however and the department
already has wide experience in this
matter), no serious difficulty Is found
in both persusding and assisting the
mother 70 keep her child with her. and,
a. rule, to support both herself and
her child, either from the first or after
a short period Of assistance, care and
