Of the island. which is entirely uninhabited.
My general procedure each season was to take
q young white man with me as research
assistant and then hire three or four Eskimos
to help dig. The digging was done in pains
taking way, to say the least in what the scien-
tist calls kitchen middens,' which really are
gloriied trash piles-an that remains as evil
dence Of an abandoned village. On st. Law
renee Island they sometimes stand 10 feet high,
and when one realizes that they are frozen
solid, the magnitude Of the task confronting
the diggers may be realized.
"Of course we had all kinds Of digging APP
paratus on hand, including pick, but we dared
use the pick only TO loosen the surface, for we
didn't want to destroy or break up any valu-
able implements. tools, ornaments, weapons,
human and animal bones that were underneath,
for all these materials comprise the story Of
separate stages of Eskimo culture.
I'VE utilized q tiny trowel for the major part
Of our digging maneuvers. In this fashion we
sometimes worked for days exploring abandoned
villages only TO penetrate few feet into
single trash pile

and determine its relation to the present-day
Eskimo culture in that region.
Since then have spent each Summer ex-
ploring various points of interest along the
Boring Sea and Arctic coasts Of Alaska. How
ever, the year 1928 was the first time 1 had
ever set foot the remote island of st. Law
renee, the largest island in the Bering Sea,
some 100 miles long and situated just south of
Bering Strait 40 miles from Siberia.
THE fact that made this island of particular
interest to the student of ancient peoples and
particularly to the Smithsonian, was that the
inhabitants are Eskimos of undoubted Siberian
origin, showing in their customs and objects
of art a strong influence of the Chukchee
peoples a Monaghan race somewhat different
physically, but living in the same general way.
During the Summers Of 1928 and 1929 my
explorations were made on the eastern section

Under this rocky beach Mr.. Collins
made many important archaeological
finds. 1t one time the sea line touched
the base of the small mountain shown
in the distance.

ploration of the abandoned houses In this Sec
ton of the island Our finds were somewhat
surprising. had gone to this region expecting
to find traces Of the old curvilinear art with
its graceful, flowing lines. Instead began inn
mediately to discover q new and hitherto I'M
known type Of art much simpler than the
curvilinear variety and much closer in its
essential features to the art of the modern
Eskimo.
Nor was it long before realized that I
really was building up clear-cut chronology
Of Eskimo cultures, for here indeed was an
intermediate stage between ancient and
modern-day Arctic civilization.
However, though my examination Of the
eastern end Of the island was finished, my real
task had only begun. What I now wished to
discover was place where the ancient curvi-
linear or Boring Sea culture might be found in
isolation in a pure state.
Nov we turn to the events of the Summer
Of 1880. for they are concerned with the most
important results of my three years. study Of
the Boring Strait region. On June 20, &C.
companied by James A. Ford, student with
archaeological leanings from Mississippi College,
arrived at st. Lawrence Island on the Coast
Guard cutter Northland.
MY plan was 70 make careful archeo-
logical study Of the northwestern section Of the
island. During the two previous years had
spent o few hours in this region and noted
series Of old abandoned villages which seemed
to be wen worth examining to test the validity
Of my theory concerning the relationship be-
tween old and new Arctic civilizations
Just few words about this end OF the
island It contained a village Of some 400
EskimOs, Of which 1 hired crews Of men at
various times during the Summer to help with
our digging Here are few Of their tongue
twisting names: Paul Shook, Philip Maskin,
Moses Soonogoruc and Chauncy Miletaruk.
They were intelligent. cheerful, friendly folks
who helped us materially to make the Sum-
mer's work worth while.

But let MIR. Collins tell his own absorbing
story about how he accidentally stumbled upon
his important discoveries last Summer.

covered type Of Eskimo culture hitherto
unknown, the most highly developed culture
from an artistic standpoint of any hitherto
found in the frctic regions The exploration was
made in Northern Alaska in the Boring Strait
region, and the art objects consisted Of few
pieces Of harpoon heads and other implements,
decorated with graceful flowing, ornate lines,
In striking contrast TO the crude stiff, conven-
tionalized art of the Eskimos known to science
up to that time.
Naturally, the officials of the Smithsonian
thought 1t well worth while to further investi-
gate this find, so in 1928 was sent to the
Boring Strait region to trail this ancient culture
and, If possible, find something Of its origin

Asia braved all manner OF hard
ships in order to gain entrance to what now is

Such is the case If we are to accept the
opinion Of DR.. Ralph w. CLANCY, paleobotanist
of the Carnegie Institution. He refers to the
discovery just made by youthful Smithsonian
scientist of an ancient village site in strange
island located south of Boring Strait about 30
miles from Asia and little more than 100
miles from the Seward Peninsula of Alaska.
Henry b. Collins, jr, distinguished archeolo-
gist, made the find late last Summer. Besides
numerous art objects, animal bones and few
human bones, he found many fossil specimens
and slabs Of heavy gray shale thickly covered
with impressions Of leafy twigs of redwood.
Such redwood fossils have been sought for
years in both Alaska and China by DR.. CLANCY,
