WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-New evi-
dence of mans prehistoric life in
the Arctic has been dug out of the
frozen ruins of a very large Eskimo
settlement 'on st. Lawrence island
in the Boring sea by Henry B. Col
Inns Jr., archeologist Of the Smith
sonian institution. and G. Herman
Brandt of Cleveland.
st. Lawrence island and the DID,
mede islands in Boring strait, may
be called the metropolises of the
prehistoric Arctic, said Collins, who
has returned from his Alaskan ex-
petition.
At these two points the people who
lived in the north many centuries
ago were especially interested in
making their everyday possessions
and ceremonial objects beautiful
with fine carving. Here, too. cere-
monials, the foundation of the So
cial life, flourished most, judging by
the quantities of carved ivory OBJ
1ectS found.
Found Many Relics
Digging into the stifhy frozen re-
fuse heap of the ancient village,
Mr. Collins and Mr.. Brandt I'M
earthed ivory and bone harpoons,
meat picks, and many strangely
shaped carved objects which today
have no conceivable use. Holes
bored in some of these and the
various shapes suggest possible use
as caps for ceremonial wands,
charms, and personal ornaments,
but not even the Eskimos who oc-
cupy the same region today and
live under somewhat similar condi-
tions can help solve the prehistoric
ivory puzzles. There are no such
things in the modern Eskimo house
hold.
Three successive stages of Eskimo
culture are traced in the possessions
dug out of the hard earth, and the
oldest, most deeply buried objects
show the finest and most intelligent
workmanship.
The layer above this contains ar
ticles decorated in less esthetic
fashion, and the topmost layer of
earth and recent villages contain
the craftsmanship of modern Eski-
mos who have lived within the past
300 years and have forgotten the
painstaking skill and the love of
design that their distant ancestors
had.
It all shows, Collins points out,
that the Eskimos white men never
met were of a higher state of cul-
ture than the ESkimos of today.
Lived 1000 Years Ago
The age of the most ancient Eski-
mos never may be determined, but
at a rough guess they may be said
to have lived at least 1000 years
ago.
1T is becoming evident beyond
doubt" the archologist stated. that
the oldest articles found represent
the most ancient ESkimoS in the
world and they are older than the
FSkimos of Central Canada and
Greenland. Somewhere on the
shores of northern Alaska or eastern
Siberia some members of the ASiatic
race adapted themselves to the Arc
tic conditions and here appeared the
typical Eskimo"
Skulls of the oldest ESkimoS have
not yet been found, but the expe-
dition has brought back skulls of
the later prehistoric stage of Eski-
mo culture.
