Scientists Meet at Ruins of Oldest
Walled City
(By Science Service)


Santa Fe, N. M.-Within the ruins
of the oldest walled city in the United
States, a field session of the South
western Division fthe American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence was held this afternoon. The
site is that fthe Pueblo of Pecos
which, if archaeological research are
correct in their estimates, was a -four
ishing community even as long ago
as 600 A. d.
DR.. A. V. Kidder who has been in
charge of excavations for Andover
College for four years told of his in
vestigations on this site, now owned by
the School of American Research at
Santa Fe. He has disclosed much of
the life and culture of the inhabitants
of Pecos from the earliest times until
1887, when the Pueblo was evacuated
by its inhabitants, who went over to
the Pueblo of Jemez, rs miles farther
west, where their descendants are still
an important portion of the commun-
itylife. A community independent and
democratic in government, consider
ably advanced in culture, praeticing a
beautiful religion, and living an ad-
mirable philosophy, was pictured by
DR.. Kidder.
The walls of the ancient city are
still standing in part. The excavation
of one of the great community houses
has disclosed walls two and three stor-
les high. Trench across the patio of
the older community house have laid
bare one of the early underground SAN
ctuaries and from it was taken much
interesting material, to which DIR. Kid
der and his expedition have added
year after year. When first visited
by the Spaniards in 1910, eighty years
before the Pilgrams landed at Ply
mouth Rock, Pecos probably had $500
inhabitants, although the early chron-
iclers in their reports magnified its
size ten-fold. Nevertheless, their de-
scrilption of the community house and
its life was fairly accurate, as is prov
en- by DIR. Kidder's excavations. The
material taken out is being placed in
the Peabody Museum at Andover,
Mass, except that portions of it will
be kept in the Museum of New Next
co at Santa Fe.
Colonel Ralph E. Twitchell, the New
Mexican historian, told of the Santa
Fe Trail, the centenary of which was
celebrated by the Santa Fe Fiesta,
which closed the day before.
