The skull Of the Heidelburg man.
one Of the few primitives Of whom
any trace remains. was found with
teeth in a perfect state OF preserva-
ton. and is virtually the same as
that OF the Santa Barbara man. he
said.
Tho long, crushing Jaw bone. the
powerful flat top. and bovine teeth,
are all unmistakable signs of the
antiquity of the find according to
DIR. Harrington.
The discovery of the skulls, he
said. will bring about a complete re-
vision of the theory now held by
scientists as to the date of mans
first appearance on the North Amer.
lean continent. Hitherto II has been
accepted n a fact that primitive
man originally came to North Amer
lea from Asia. via the Boring strait.
about 10000 years ago. and gradual
ly worked south. The discovery of
the Santa Barbara man. according
to DR.. Harrington. established the
fact that Burton's Mound, scene OF
tho excavations and ono the site OF
e fashionable seaside hotel. felt the
Tread OF man $1,000 years earlier.
The spot where the primitive
9furtis WEIR found was made avail.
ablo for excavation by tho burning
of the hotel two years ago. Soon
after the fire. scientists negotiated
for permission TO conduct a
tons on tho site which long had
been a center OF interest to arch
aeologists because OF the location
there OF an old Indian burial ground.
Within three feet Of what once
was a gay ball room floor ancient
Indian relics and remains were
found. Further excavations beneath
this ancient place OF burial revealed
the remains of the Santa Barbara
man. in tho hardpan several feet be-
low the original excavations, sealed
over by fossilized marine deposits.
First Indications that the d'scov-
cry was OF tremendous scientific I'm
portance lay in the positions OF the
two skeletons found. These were
resting stretched out full length. In
contrast with the remains OF later
Indians. usually found buried In
crouching or kneeling positions.
Many centuries after the Santa
Barbara remains were buried. &c.
cordlng to DIR. Harrington, the sea
came up and covered their resting
place. Marine growths flourished.
and when the waters centuries later
receded again these fossilized and
formed a rocky seal ove the print
tive grave.

That the Santa Barbara man was
an inhabitant of the Pacific coast at
the same time. If not earlier, than
the Neanderthal man. is established
according to DIR. Harrington, by a
number OF features of the skulls
found here. Chief of these is the
thickness Of the skull. the almost
complete absence of forehead, the
bovine characteristics of the teeth
and the construction OF upper and
lower jaws. which resemble that evil
dent in the lower orders.
The skull of the Santa Barbara
man possesses a pronounced supra.
orbital ridge without depression be.
tween the eyes, as does the Neander-
thai man. The thickness of the
skull. more than one-half inch, is
almost the same.
Even more striking proof of the
Santa Barbara mans era. according
to the Smithsonian archeologist. is
found in comparison of the teeth
and jaw bone structure with those
OF the Heidelburg man. who, lived at
the same time as tho Neanderthal
type.
