Neil NJ Judd, leader of the National

After clearing three more burial

Grave robbers, most likely tribal
enemies on raiding expeditions, dis
covered the room burials and strip
ped the bodies of their turquoise and
shell ornaments. In their search
they showed a disregard for the dead.
Burials were disturbed; portions OF
the bodies were torn from the re-
mainder and the heads. in most in
stances, placed in a corner or along
the walls of the room.
only the deeper burials were left
intact. With these we found our
