Being Sought by DR.. Moore

sands of Unknown Age in
Maine During Past Few
Years.

| If q group of busineSSlike men call
at your home some time in the near
future and ask permission to dig up
the front yard. promising to put the
soil and turf back just as they found
it, don't turn them down-they prob
ably will prove to be DR.. Warren X.
Moorehead, a member of the National
Board of Indian Commissioners and
curator of the department of
archaeology at Phillips Andover
Academy, and his force of delivers
| into the prehistoric.
| They have been busy for some time
in Maine, where they found 1900
articles of prehistoric manufacture
and added vastly to the store of hu
man knowledge of the little known
people who occupied New England
before the coming of the white man.
Now they are planning to make ex-
plorations in the lower Connecticut
Valley. along the coast from New
Haven to Providence and in Massa-
chusetts. Their explorations will
cover eight years. and they should
have the cooperation of local histori-
cal and scientific societies, as well as
the public.
| Writing in the current Atlantic, DR..
Moorehead recounts the valuable dis
coveries made in the shell heaps and
hitherto unknown sites of Indian viii
/ lagos in Maine, many of which are of
such antiquity that it is not possible
to say in what century the tribes
fourished. but that they preceded by
many generations the tribes made
familiar to us by colonial history
seems definitely established. While
the Maine discoveries are OF great
Importance, DR.. Moorehead looks for
even more impressive ones in Con-
neCticut.
"Our greatest Indian population
lay along the coast" he says. "the
lower Connecticut Valley. Martha's
Vineyard and Rhode Island. 1t Is
here that the larger villages OF
Pequots, Narragansetts. Podunks and
others were located.
"On the large town sites and in the
cemeteries one should be able to dis
cover articles indicating tribal COM
merce with bands living in New York
or New Jersey. and also to obtain
specimens of aboriginal art. since the
more skilled workmen would natural
~ locate in the populous communi-
ties. Hence. when the survey in
spects the site of King Phillips town,
the Pequots' fort and similar spots.
it Is hoped that the lower layers of
the ashpits will prove rich in evil
dence"
Finding the sites of unknown VII
lagos is not easy. and the work Is not
without Its romantic side. When the
survey comes to Connecticut we hope
1T Will not find us lacking interest or
Willingness to cooperate. That such
cooperation has not been given as
freely as should he expected seems
to be intimated by DR. More
heads statement that 'onlv the
foreigners living in the lower Con-
necticut have caused ua trouble"
Whatever trouble these dwcllers
within our state have caused must
be due to misunderstanding. and
ways TO avoid Il should be found
