TRACING HISTORY
 BY HUMAN BONES
HarYard Professor Goes Back
 Centuries

Cambridge. Mas. Nov. , R-A new kind of history of the American southwest. one taken from study Of human bones covering 1000 years time. is being written at Harvard by Dr. Ernest A. Hooton.
 He h associate professor of an- thropolosy and curator of somatol- ogy at Peabody Museum of Harvard college. The measurements, analysis and comparisons which have trans lated bono relics into writeable his- tory have required years of work by somatologistA pathologists and ar- cheologists.
 All of the bones are from the In- dian village of Pecos, New Mexico. which existed from about 800 A. D. to 1888. They represent about one third of the population which lived there. At its prosperity peak. Dr. Hooton says, the village probably had 1000 inhabitants, but numbered IT persons when it was abandoned in 1893. The skeletal records were buried in eight distinct layers, whose time periods were identified by ar- theological finds.
 Those of the bottom era showed fairly healthy vigorous people. With the passing of time they be- came smaller of bone, and their teeth were not 70 good. Dr. Hooton says there is definite evidence of how population deteriorates physi- cally when hit bad by economic con- ditions, such as poor insufficient food. Lesion marks on bones show cd progressive advance of certain disease. Cancer and tuberculosis were two of these. A third malady has been detected and submitted to pathologists for decision as to its character. It appears in a period an- tedating the coming of the white man to America with Columbus When Pecos was founded. Dr. Hooton says it's inhabitants includ- ed several fairly distinct physical types of Indians. There follows every evidence that it became a prehistor- ic melting pot. At the beginning the skull types included groups which resembled negroids, Australian bush- men, Europeans and Mongoloids. One skull group was wholly Egyp- tian in form. The Mongoloid strain in time dominated all others.
 One of the results of the Pecos melting pot. Dr. Hooton says, is a pure Buffalo Nickel" Indian type. Another is the we'll known "Ameri- can Basket Maker Indian head. Hooton has been able to identify among present day Indians all the Pecos aborigines except those which look like Egyptians and negroids. Of these two he says:
 T do not think that a thousa nd years ago real Egyptians were liv- ing in Pecos; nor that negroes ever resided there. The logical deduc- ton Is that at ths remote period when America was peopled by an Asiatic race that seems to have ar- rived via the region of Boring Strait. these newcomers carried minor strains of almost every type of blood in tho world. It would be natural to find occasional individuals showing segregations of these latent ancestral strains which would mako them re- semblS non-Indian races. This I think accounts for the Pecos Egyp- tianS and the negroids."
