OLD CIVILIZATION
REVEALED IN RUINS
NEAR SANTA FE
Excavations at Town of Peccs
Indicate Existence of
Thriving City.

Santa Fe. y. M.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Pressl.-When Eu-
rope was plunging through the ter
rors of the middle ages and along
about the time Attilla, the Hun. was
ravaging the civilization of Rome. an
other civilization of different type
was in a fairly well perfected state in
western North America. The center
of this civilization as well as center OF
trade and commerce was Fccos. n. NJ,
about p miles east of Santa Fe.
This was determined definitely, ac-
cording to DIR. \. Y. kidder. by exca
vations conducted by himself and as
sistants last summer DR. kidder was
aided by DR.. f. 4. Hooton, specialist
in physical anthropology and DIR. Carl
f. Guthe. who had just returned from
his exploration among the Mayos in
Central America.
800 Graves Opened.
The scientists opened more than 500
graves and examined some 1000
skeletons. Homes had been built upon
ruins of previous habitations and the
bodies of the dead buried in the ruins
had increased to such an extent that
the Indians of Pecos, some so years
ago, deserted their thousand year old
city and moved to Jemez because the
waters had become contaminated. e

well preserved specimens of the past
civilization and unusual examples of
early day pottery and household uten-
sis were recovered, according to the
report on the excavations recently
made public.
Castenada the chronicler of Coro-
nado's explorations $50 years ago,
mentions one pueblo at Pecos. obvious
" the north house. Excavations last
summer showed that there had been a
pueblo at an early period. on the site
of the south house. which had been
abandoned and reduced to mere heap
of ruins before the coming of the
Spaniards. In the interior Of the
mound there was uncovered one ground
floor chamber in excellent preserva-
ton. Its roof was almost intact; from
the beams still hung the bark loops
that had been used to suspend goods
of the owners and on one smoke
blackened log are series of hand
prints, large and small, slapped on in
white wash.

In another trench ruins were en-
countered similar to those of the pre-
historic walls of the palace of govern
ors at Santa Fe. built long before the
coming of the Spaniards. The similar
ity was traced to the ruins upon which
the Santa Fe Structure had been con-
structed and which had been built by
Ornate or his successor in 1908.
Other trenches revealed large
series Of cooking jars, painted oilas
and one nest of ceremonial pots wedged

BY careful observation of the strata

rooms, co-ordinated with an intensive
study of the successive increments of
masonry that had gone into their con-
