Saturday, Aug. 24, 1912.

Heavy rain all morning till 11 A.M. Rather heavy
rain all afternoon until (?)

Sent down 6 Indians with Ricardo to meet Arriero from
Cuzco at 12 M. It was raining pretty hard, and promised them
a full day for their work. Marcos went down with them and
said he'd not return as he had to look after horse and mule at
Intihuatana. Men returned empty handed.

Sunday, Aug. 25, 1912.

Heavy rain during night, and hard showers most all
today. Ricardo came over at breakfast time and said that men
had all pulled out early for the harvest. Also said that some
would return in 2 weeks. Lieutenant went to foot of hill to watch
for passing of arriero. Found a stone just below and 20 ft. S.E.
of camp, about 1 1/4 ft. diameter, which was dish on one side,
and table stone on other; with it were hammer stone and polishing
stone, and green stone. On hill above and south of town found
big carved boulder with steps cut in north side, and big stone
cut diagonal in east side. Among these, are many water worn
rocks, sitting straight up in ground. Will prospect later to

27.

see if are graves of not.

No sign yet of arriero.

Monday, Aug. 26, 1912.

Dr. Eaton went down the hill this morning. Ricardo and the Lieutenant carried his baggage. Ricardo returned at 2 P.M. Showers all day. Stephenson got in 2 hours work. Erdis went up the hill prospecting, but found nothing except more terraces. No sign yet of arriero from Cuzco.

Tuesday, Aug. 27, 1912.

Showers most all night, very rainy and windy at breakfast time, with the snow rather low on the hills across the River opposite camp. Showers best part of day. At 11.30 A.M. arriero from Cuzco arrived with mail. Said he had put the 6 boxes on this side of the River. Took my mail out (none for Stephenson) and gave him back the package. He reported that he had seen Barrios in Urubamba 3 days past, and that the latter said he was not coming back. Told him to leave Benigno here as per order of Dr. Bingham, and he demanded a "papelito," --what for I don't know. Did not give him one, and he did not send Benigno.

Wednesday, Aug. 28, 1912.

Asked Lieutenant to go to Urubamba and get money from Barrios, have him punished, and bring men. Lieutenant said that probably Jimenez would be back today with the men, and if he were not, he'd go tomorrow. Rather cloudy, but hope it won't rain. Soldier got up from Intihuatana at 11.30 A.M. Brought me S/5 of cigarrettes, S/1 of queso, 2 ears of green corn, told me he had borrowed the other S/4, and said that 7 Indians came up the other way and would go to work after dinner. Said that Barrios did

28.

not come back, but had sent our cigarrettes by the Indians
(S/6.00 worth). Barrios sent 23 packages of 20 each of Mascota cig-
arrettes. Men say that Barrois will come tomorrow with 3 more
men. Men pleaded after dinner to rest till morning, so did
not send them down the hill after the boxes. There was a boy
with the 7 men that they asked to have hired, and did so at 30c
a day.

Thursday, Aug. 29, 1912.

3 more men arrived yesterday afternoon and the 11
(10 men and boy) went to work this morning. Sent 6 men and boy
down the hill for packages. They brought the 6 boxes up but no
paper. They were in charge of the soldier. Started the others
with the Lieutenant to clearing a trail from north end of gardens
to top of hill west of Huayna Picchu. Found about 14 or 15
terraces on east side of hill connected with projecting stone
stairs, also a few stairways, and on north side of Notch are 3 or
4 andenes very nicely built. On south side of hill are a couple
of small terraces near the top. Beyond the Notch there is nothing
in the direction of Huayna Picchu except one small terrace about
10 ft. long on south side of next (small) hill near the top.
Don't know what I'll do without paper, as there is nothing in
 camp except a few (3 or 4) newspapers. Ricardo is fixing his chacra
and Alvarez is at Intihuatana. I think doing the same thing.
Stephenson asks that Gardens be cleared at once, so that he can
work there, so will cut the brush at once, for his benefit. At
11.55 A.M. the boy has just arrived with the paper. Thank the
Lord. In afternoon I unpacked 4 grub boxes and put them in 2 sacks
and packed 2 of the boxes with bones. Jacinto Barrios arrived
with striped vest, and a letter from the Governor of Ollantaytambo.

Monday, July 15.

Left Cuzco 9.30 A.M. Climbed high hill and passed over summit,
after which it was all down hill. Passed a deserted Inca village at
about 3/4 mile on our right, and a few miles afterward on the brink of
the Yucay Valley saw absolutely the grandest view have ever seen. For
background, gigantic peaks faced with precipices hundreds of feet in
height and crowned with great glaciers and snow fields. Foreground,
wide level valley with placidly flowing river in center, cultivated
fields and green trees, and a small town at our feet. This single
view is worth travelling many a weary mile to see.

Erdis sick as result of typhoid serum of yesterday.

Tues. July 16.

Left Urubamba about 9 A.M. Valley remarkably well watered
by streams from glacier on right for about 2 or 2 1/2 miles below
town. Farther down, saw three abandoned ranch houses, and a number of
old (Inca?) deserted villages, which do not appear to have any water
in them at present, and may have been abandoned on that account. Also
saw very many old terraces, some of which extended 1000 ft. higher than
floor of valley, and which have no water and should judge from their
appearance have not been cultivated for many years. A few miles below
Urubamba we passed many holes in the faces of large crevel banks, which
were almost perpendicular, and worn by the elements into many fantastic
shapes. These holes are supposedly to have been Inca graves. A short
distance further on, we saw quite a number of old tombs, of rock and
adobe, in small caves in the faces of the cliffs, but apparently all
had been opened. Came about 7 leagues today, and camped at a place
by the roadside where forage for the animals could be had.

Friday, Aug. 30, 1912.

Room No. 23A continued

It started to rain at 4.45 A.M. and at 9 A.M. it is still raining heavily. All the men are at work, stopped raining at 9.45 but showers during rest of day. After dinner took 2 men to hunt in house where I stopped last Saturday. Got a couple more pieces of the broken stone dish, and also a white metal ornament pierced with a hole, at 1 foot depth. Found second white metal ornament about size of a 20c piece, same as the other, and pierced also, in the center of the apartment at a foot depth, and about 2 ft. from the first. In the wall of the room was the broken half of a red granite corn crusher, oval shaped, about a foot x 7 in. x 4 in., and 20 ft. away in front of the room, lay the other half on the surface. Also found irregular oblong granite stone about 1 1/2 ft. x 1 ft. x 4 or 5 inches thick, smoothed on one side, evidently used as household utensil.

Saturday, Aug. 31, 1912.

Lieutenant clearing brush and small trees in gardens, and a couple of men working on main stairway and uncovering more baths. A little to one side of center in Room No. 23A (about 12 x 16 ft. size) is a large granite rock, somewhat square and with top roughly flattened about 4 x 5 ft. and about a foot higher than the floor, which may have served for a table. Got small squared and polished stone, broken, which may have been a whet stone. Also a small green stone ornament 3/4 x 1 1/2 x 1/8 inches, also a polishing stone.

Room 23A continued.

2 more Indians showed up for work this morning.

Very misty with light rain. Found green stone ornament pierced with hole, also a very fine square stone dish, about 6 x 3 x 4 inches, with a fine circular bowl in top side and very shallow

30.

one on bottom. Unfortunately one corner had been broken out of it, also broken end of large red granite pestle or crusher, and ring stone (green) with ring broken, small green hammer stone, also thin green stone slab about 10 x 14 inches, and a piece of a stone dish which had evidently broken in the rough or formative stage, also a straight round sherd handle, and at 2 ft. a polishing and a hammer stone.

Room 24A--at south end of Big boulder S.E. of Snake Rock.

Got a broken champe or knife of bronze at 1 foot deep. Also a number of sherds, with one bird's head.

Sunday Sept. 1, 1912/

Lieutenant told me yesterday afternoon that the men from Ollantaytambo would all leave at the end of the week, and that if I did not at once send for another bunch, the work would stop, so this morning Lieutenant wrote letter for me to the Gobénador for 10 men and started Barrios back. Gave him $/11.00 for 10 men and himself. Looks like a graft, as only 7 were sent of the 10 called for, and 3 others showed up the next day. Think the Governor got 3 soles out of it, but don't see how to escape it if we are to keep the work going. Very rainy till noon and a little after noon. Lieutenant and our man went to Intihuatana (sent man) for coffee, meat, matches, etc. and they did not get back today.

Monday, Sept. 2, 1912.

Heavy rain till 8 o'clock, and still foggy and raining some

Room No. 24A continued.

Got sherds almost plain, small and a large cat's head,

31.

scraper(?), bronze topa or pin pierced in head, and glory--at
1 1/2 ft. a little towards N.W. corner of room, got bronze
knife, with handle decorated with figure of man with breech
cloth, on stomach, feet in air, pulling on a rope, to which is
attached a fish, Don't remember seeing anything like this in
museum at Lima. Also got short polished table stone lying flat
on floor in N. W. corner at 1 1/2 ft. deep, 2 pieces of paint,
a sherd about 3 3/4 inches, somewhat rectangular and with smoothed
edges, a foot from north wall and 2 ft. deep got bronze axe about
4 in. long, with one corner broken off edge. It has a good edge
and perfect T shaped top. A foot away got thin rectangular green
stone ornament about 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 x 1/8 inches pierced with a
hole. Also got broken green hammer stone. These things laid
on floor of room--a sort of half cement and earth. Also got
heavy cat's head sherd with hole in forehead, 2 sherd pot lids with
handles, and fine small stone dish ( for paints?) which also
seemed to have been used for hammer stone. It was made from 2 (?)
boulders. (Low down on main stairway they found a small hammer
stone of very rich silver ore). Got a large piece of paint,
and green, square sided hammer stone with one side partly broken.
At 1 foot half of a beautiful red granite molidor or grinding
stone. At 5 inches a seed of the Lucma fruit. About half a table
stone, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 ft x 2 in. thick, and polished on one side,
small piece of thin table stone, and some small pieces of other
table stone unpolished at 1 foot deep. Got another big piece of
the large table stone and broken corner of same, couple of bits
of rough white quartz, chips of green stone, base of what had
been a beautiful round stone (polished) dish about 7 or 8 in. diam-
eter, but sides all broken off, at 1 1/2 ft. deep. So far have
not gotten a single bone from this room, which is rather remark

32.

able, as every other place hunted furnished a number.

Told the men when they came that whoever found a rock with marks or carvings on it, would reward him with 20c for each rock. Today in clearing N. W. side of fort (on top) at east side of gardens, they discovered a wonderful one. It's a large flat topped one with sun rays a foot or more in diameter, and with snakes and other markings all over its slightly slanting, flat topped surface. Gave them 40c, this rock is so extraordinary. Roughly it is about 6 x 8 ft. and the carvings or snakes extend down the wall or N.W. side of the rock. Two small sherds were about 4 inches down in the crevices on top of the rock. One of these snakes has teeth. I write this as rock is being cleaned.

Note--Think that the large green stone disks may have been used round their fires to set ollas, etc. on, as have found by experience at our camp fire that the fire resisting qualities of the green stone are excellent, and its a sure thing that the people who lived here would have found out the same thing. Great head! Wonderful perceptive abilities.

Tuesday, Sept. 3 1912.

142 polishing stones, of which I took seven of the latter.

36.

Find that I have all the bottom of the lovely stone
relief vessel, and all of the sides except about 2 inches or so
of one corner which we did not get, consider this wonderful
luck to recover so much of this precious vessel, broken as it was
into so many small pieces and scattered thru 2 rooms over an area
of about 12 ft. by 25 ft. What sort of tools did they use
to carve this--stone or metal?

Thursday, Sept. 5, 1912.

Wed. July 17.

Passed a number of old Inca ruins and fortresses on both sides of river. Entered a canon early in the day (and were still in it at night), which for positive grandeur and beauty of scenery surpasses anything which the writer has ever seen. At times the cliffs rise straight from the river at about 75° or 80° angles, without a break for 600, 800 ft. or even higher, while ever and anon one catches a view of the snow and ice clad peaks towering above the densely verdure clad valley below. The climate during the day became sub-tropical and at one Indian's hut a number of banana plants were seen. Many odd and curious plants were seen, and some beautiful wild flowers. I must not, however, overlook the large and extensive Inca ruins of Oente (Humming bird), situated at the mouth and on lower side, of a stream which enters the Urubamba River on the left side.

Thurs. July 18.

Began raining in the night, and kept it up steadily all day with the exception of about 3 hours. Got some of our bedding and other stuff damp last night. Shept under a fly. We are camped on gravel bar, in bed of river, 250 ft. above Heald's bridge, and there is a section of old stone wall about 14 ft. high at edge of River bed. Some of these stones are over 1 meter diameter. There is also part of a stone wall on right bank. These walls we noticed along the river banks for miles, tho now they are broken and destroyed in places. Eaton and Erdis took a bath in the River, and found it refreshing. Water cold tho. Dr. Bingham left in morning to be gone several days. During day some boxes arrived, also our saddles and bridles, and those of the "Army."

Richarte got 2 skulls, 2 jaws, some leg, rib, and other bones, some sherds, and a bronze pin, and a llama headed bronze champe, both rather short, from this cave.

Men lost the file, so as I heard that 8 of them were to leave Sunday, would not pay the ax and machete men, till they looked for it again.

Sunday, Sept. 8, 1912.

Men looked for file for almost an hour this morning, and failed to find it, so after considering the labor situation, and the fact that Barrios has not returned with the other bunch of men, (he's been gone a week) and this is planting time, I paid them all off, as I was afraid that if I deducted for the file, they might spread reports that would keep other men away.

Went down to a cave in old building about 5th terrace below Princess Row, and got a part of a skull, and 3 leg bones from it, as they were in sight, and men are not thru clearing there. Took a walk thru ruin and in east corner of buildings opposite center of gardens, found a wonder circular dish about 2 ft. diameter, and 2 or 3 inches deep, cut in an immense boulder in room. Sent Ricardo below for change, as I was afraid that may run out, also for matches. Also we unpacked 2 grub boxes, and I screwed cover on one already packed, but as got a couple of bad blisters on my fingers desisted. After dinner "scooped out" the tents, and went up to steps and tunnel above Richarte's place. Tunnel is only for purpose of going under road for the animals I think. Stevenson and I used 2 boxes of matches starting fires, but they

42.

all went out--brush still too damp. Sent Ricardo to Intihuatana for coca spoken of by Marcos, but man was in the hills and he could not get it, also sent him to Huaquina for string, and change for £2, but could only get soles.

Light rain last night--light rain this morning.
Barrios got in yesterday afternoon. Had been gone since Sept. 1.
He has only 4 men and brought no letter, said he could not get
one and that 3 more men would show up today. So far this leaves
9 men shy on money sent. If not enough show up today will ask
him for the balance of men's names and send to the Gobendor for
an explanation. There's sure a big nigger in the woodpile
somewhere.

Got small cross shaped green stone ornament, at 1

Called Barrios (Jacinto) this morning and told him to accompany the soldier to Ollantaitambe, to get the men he lacked (3 on 1st trip, and 4 on the last one) or to pay the money, including the money for writing paper which we had sent, as he had brought no letter from the Gobernador, nor a decent explanation, and had also been away 9 days on this last trip for which I had allowed him 5. He at once said that he'd be responsible for all that was lacking if I did not send him back, so concluded that that was the easiest way out of it, and, so told him. He claimed 5 days for the 1st trip, as he said Dr. Bingham ordered him to go, but told him he'd have to settle that with Dr. Bingham, as I did not know anything about it.

47.

at work there when I went up at 8.30 A.M. The Lieutenant said

slightly damp, salt very damp, chocolate both packages broken, and run-
ning slightly, both packages macaroni broken and damp, but one of them

thing in the bag. Went up the hill myself in 80 minutes with small

Erdis cleared out the spring and walled it up. Got a little

ments of others. The pottery and a few bones were from the surface to

very compactly in layers varying from 1/4 inch to an inch in thickness, and the floor was about 6 inches thick. Under this was a foot to a foot and a half of coarse compact sand composed of decomposed granite (grayish white in color) and resting on a bed of large boulders varying from 1 1/2 ft. to 3 or 4 ft. in thickness. All pottery was found on surface of floor in vegetable mould, and was practically all unmarked. Later in day filled up trench and started new trench on north side of "3 window Temple" and east side of Main Temple. At about a foot under the surface, found the bottom of walls resting on clay and decomposed granite, which would tend to explain why east side and N.E. corner of Main Temple has sunk about a foot. Also started to clean out first house south of round tower in Princess Row.

Tues. July 23 - 24.

Drs. Aguilar and Giesecke with a party of students from Cuzco University (15 in all) visited the ruins, and am happy to state that J.M.Ochoa, who formed one of the party and who had inscribed his name promiscuously over the most prominent ruins, on a former visit, found same all erased. In afternoon Erdis helped Prof. Eaton to take measurements of the Intihuatana stone on the point north of the Main Temple. Visitors departed in afternoon. The Indians were out hunting caves of the dead all day, and found 8. There is another Intihuatana stone in cave under Round Tower.

Wed. July 24 - 25.

About 2 ft. below surface of rubbish, encountered the floor, which was slightly sloping upward from the door to the rear, and was about 8 to 10 inches thick of hard packed decomposed granite. About five and a half ft. from the rear of the apartment, a division of the apartment was created by a cut stone

Very heavy showers all day.

Rock fell on 2 machetes to-day and broke both off short at the
handles, and 2 days ago one of the hombres took over an inch off one
corner of the bit of an ax, while handles appear to break surprisingly
often.

Stevenson reports a bunch of houses about 1½ miles due south of
the summit of Machu Picchu mountain, in a saddle and with many andeses.
Says they are in plain sight.

Sun., Sept. 22, 1912.

Started raining sometime this morning, think about 3 A.M., and
at 7.30 it is still raining heavily. At 5 P.M. the Teniente told me

Room #55 A - about 10' x 15'. Next room south of #54 A.

Mon. Sept. 23 - 12.

Only 2 men and 1 cave hunter (Richarte) showed up this morn-
ing. Ricardo reported that they got to Huadquiña too late to buy the
coca, and that no more would be on sale until next Sunday, but that
one could get it at Intihuatana for S/5. As we are about out of coca,
suppose it will be necessary to pay the extra sol. Let the Teniente
go to Maras for 15 men, as he reported that Ollantaitambo was about
drained. Just as he started he asked for S/2 which I gave him, but
for which I forgot to get a receipt. He says it will take 8 days. This
is frightful. Rain let up about 7.20 a.m. today, but think it's not
over as it is still very warm. Quit raining for the day at 1 p.m.
Erdis dried some moss, and did some packing.

Alvarez and Mesa started to cave-hunt again this morning and
also got 3 more men from Intihuatana. Rained a few drops in the night.
Erdis in camp all day packing, wrapping up the skulls, bones, sherds
etc. Did not get all packed tho worked steady. Richarte and Alvarez
returned empty handed, and announced that they had hunted at Hueyne,
Pichu all day. Sent a man to Intihuatana for coca, and he did not
return till 5.30 p.m. as he said he had to wait for the dueno.

Wed. Sept. 25 - 12.

Stevenson and Ricardo moved camp down on the River this morn-
ing to be gone a week. He took one of the men with him, as he has
had one for the last couple of weeks, also one other to move down, who
will be back about noon, I suppose. Erdis finished packing bones and
sherds, and packed the 3 empty boxes, then went down and fixed the
store tent, which had 3 bottom corner ropes broken.

together.

Stevenson came back to camp, at supper time, as he cant check out

Cave #80.

About 200 yds. east of foot of Main Stairway. Got a fine skull, jaw, and a pretty good set of bones, also a broken plate, and some sherds. Should judge that this fellow was about 20 years old, as the wisdom teeth were just cutting thru. However he only had 6 rather small teeth in front, on the lower jaw, as there is no sign of sockets for the back lower jaw teeth.

Rained some in the morning.

Sat. Sept. 23 - 12.

Heavy rain last night. At Stevenson's request had the bunch clearing the andenes west of the Intihuatana stone yesterday, and he has now a stairway, and a lot of andenes that Tucker missed. They are still at work over there today. Showers both in morning and afternoon. The soldier pried into a cave in andenes on west side and uncovered skeleton for which I gave him 20 cents.

have the 2 long ends badly battered.

Sun. Sept. 29 - 12.

It rained most all night and until 11 a.m.today, and think it
was the heaviest rain storm since we came on the hill. Could not pack
yesterday's cave results as the moss is all soaked. After dinner found
green stone poker chip and pottery whirligig on north side Main Stair-
way opposite the Tower. Have an infernal time trying to remember to
take weather observations. Heavy showers in afternoon.

Mon. Sept. 30 -12.

Sent down 2 packed boxes, and brought up 2 empties, as one of them con-
tained the mail, etc.

Tues. Oct. 1 - 12.

It rained last night. 12 of the 15 Indians from Maras reported
for work this morning, and said 3 more were coming. They are the finest
looking set of men we've had on the hill. Lieutenant has not returned
yet. Sent down 14 loaded boxes, and Bestor's bag, which he had sent for
in yesterday's mail. Marcos will take 12 boxes and Justo 4 boxes and

Bestor's bag. They said they'd start early tomorrow. Richarte started to work this morning on cave hunting but said Alvarez and Mesa were at Intihuatana, and he did not think they'd work this week. Packed 2 boxes this morning. Gave Marcos 5/1 to buy and send up bread.

was tired of this, and would not return, but would send another man.
As it is now, he's been gone 10 days, we're short 3 of the men sent
for, no word of Barrios, and that blasted Teniente asked to have the
soldier accompany him too. Can't split the gang to work in 2 places
very handy, as have only the soldier for a boss. Heard of other terraces
with windows in them back of the hill above the cemetery and towards
San Miguel. Got 2 men started to hunting sherds, and neither one can

This afternoon Dr. Cosio of Cuzco arrived, and told me he was sent as Government Representative to live with us. He has his own stuff but no tent. Asked me if I had not received a letter from Hualdquiña relative to his arrival. Thank the Lord that the bones and sherds that Richarte brought were rather burned. He was a little inquisitive about whether we had found any ollas, skulls, etc., but stood him off. He said Dr. Bingham arrived in Cuzco with his wife on Thursday.

If this piece of iron is an iron instrument, it goes to show that these people did sabe iron, and besides have found small hammer stones of silver ore, in houses, which certainly contained iron also, as the iron oxide showed up strongly. Besides in 2000 or 1000 years, rust would eat up most iron tools completely.

They killed a snake last evening and skinned it, and the Teniente said something about fish then, so suppose it is all right.

Sun., Oct. 27, 1912.

Think most of the men pulled out this morning. The guard at Heald's Bridge left, and as Barrios wanted it, and none of the others did, I gave him the job. The Lieutenant announced last evening that he had to go to Cuzco to get new shoes, etc. As his feet are out I could not well refuse him. As I did not see his "daughter" at Richarte's this morning, think he's taking her in also. He promised to start in the morning from Intihuatana, and send the 6 men from Ollantaitambo,

Moved down to opened cave under brow of hill east of amphitheater, and found that the gang of 7 Indians from the ranch had mussed up things badly, closing up the entrance to the other 3 compartments behind. Found a few more pieces of marked pottery, and a pottery head. This was the cave at which Erdis and Luis worked on the 26th. Later moved up to back of house, which is by S.E. side of Sacred Plaza, and found some pottery heads one of which looked like a cat's, and had nice ears, and cat whiskers, also several polishing balls and very few pieces of marked pottery. The Lieutenant had a clearing gang above Princess Row. Dr. Bingham, Jarra, ranch owner's son and 8 Indians started to hunt for Greater Machu Picchu. Prof. Eaton went after more caves, with 2 Indians. We also found a broken bronze ax a foot or so deep, at back of house at S. E. side of Sacred Plaza.

Suggestions respectfully offered for other expeditions
by Erdis.

Rolled Oats for each morning.

1 big spoon (for use in the kettles) at least a foot long.

more milk.

coffee.

Larger sized envelopes also - longer and wider for champes, etc.

more pickles - vinegar- cucumbers.

at camp.

Don't use bi-cloride of mercury as an antiseptic where have only
aluminum vessels - see Stevenson.

than a few days - you'll need it all yourself, for potatoes, camotes,
canned meats, etc.

Round-headed hungarian nails for boots, - take a grip on rocks or
ground, and won't pinch holes in canvas, not so liable to as calks
furnished at present.

Erdis' Diary.

Friday, July 12, 1912/

At Sacsahuaman, had 6 Indian laborers, 1 arriero, and 1 soldier. Continued trench of yesterday. Made it wider and deeper. In morning found many teeth, more or less broken, and most all pierced thru the roots, including one large tusk, but not as big as the one discovered yesterday. Bones were all small, very scarce and Badly rotted and broken. Pieces of pottery small and scarce and very few decorated. Teeth varied in depth from 1 1/2 to 5 feet under the surface, and from against buried wall to 5 feet away from it. Trench was at foot of 3d (highest from foot). Found also a small bit of wire (?) Moved down to foot of second wall, but soil was very rocky and contained very little - got one pierced tooth, a few pieces of bones and pottery, so started trench from foot of 2d wall towards top of 1st (lowest) wall. Put it down 2 ft. to large rocks and only got 4 pierced teeth and a few pieces of pottery, so started to extend 1st trench of yesterday, where we found the small olla.

Saturday, July 13, 1912

6 Indian laborers and 1 soldier, Started to dig between Sacsahuaman and Rodadero, and found a few pieces of pottery and some llama bones, but ground not seeming promising, went to Sacsahuaman and started trench on east side of hill, about 50 ft. lower than summit. Found small copper plates and large shell about 1 1/2 ft. below surface, and part of a skull at 4 ft. and fine pieces of pottery were also scattered from 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 ft. deep, but mostly occurred from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 deep. Got some slong stones also.

Sunday, July 14.

Indians would not work. Everybody busy packing for trip to Machu Picchu. Dr. Nelson gave Erdis typhoid inoculation.

Monday, July 15.

Left Cuzco 9:30 A.M. Climbed high hill and passed over summit,
after which it was all down hill. Passed a deserted Inca village at
about 3/4 mile on our right, and a few miles afterward on the brink of
the Yucay Valley saw absolutely the grandest view have ever seen. For
background, gigantic peaks faced with precipices hundreds of feet in
height and crowned with great glaciers and snow fields. Foreground,
with
wide level valley placidly flowing river in center, cultivated fields
and green trees, and a small town at our feet. This single view
is worth travelling many a weary mile to see.

Tuesday, July 16.

Left Urubamba about 9 A.M. Valley remarkably well watered
by streams from glacier on right for about 2 or 2 1/2 miles below town.
Farther down, saw three abandoned ranch houses, and a number of
old (Inca?) deserted villages, which do not appear to have any water
in them at present, and may have been abandoned on that account. Also
saw very many old terraces, some of which extended 1000 ft. higher than
floor of valley, and which have no water and should judge from their
appearance have not been cultivated for many years. A few miles below
Urubamba we passed many holes in the faces of large gravel banks, which
were almost perpendicular, and worn by the elements into many fantastic
shapes. These holes are supposed to have been Inca graves. A short
distance further on. we saw quite a number of old tombs, of rock and
adobe, in small caves in the faces of the cliffs, but apparently all
had been opened. Came about 7 leagues today, and camped at a place
by the roadside where forage for the animals could be had.

Wednesday, July 17.

Passed a number of old Inca ruins and fortresses on both sides of river. Entered a cation early in the day (and were still in it at night), which for positive grandeur and beauty of scenery surpasses anything which the writer has ever seen. At times the cliffs rise straight from the river at about 75° or 80° angles, without a break for 600, 800 ft. or even higher, while ever and anon one catches a view of the snow and ice clad peaks towering above the densely verdure-clad valley below. The climate during the day became subtropical and at one Indian's hut a number of banana plants were seen. Many odd and curious plants were seen, and some beautiful wild flowers. I must not, however, overlook the large and extensive Inca ruins of Oente (Humming bird), situated at the mouth and on lower side, of a stream which enters the Urubamba River on the left side.

Thursday, July 18.

Began raining in the night, and kept it up steadily all day with the exception of about 3 hours. Got some of our bedding and other stuff damp last night. Slept under a fly. We are camped on gravel bar, in bed of river, 250 ft. above Heald's bridge, and there is a section of old stone wall about 14 ft. high at edge of River bed. Some of these stones are over 1 meter diameter. There is also part of a stone wall on right bank. These walls we noticed along the river banks for miles, the now they are broken and destroyed in places. Eaton and Erdis took a bath in the River, and found it refreshing. Water cold tho. Dr. Bingham left in morning to be gone several days. During day some boxes arrived, also our saddles and bridles, and those of the "Army."

Wed. July 31 - 12.

Ranch owner's son and Jarra took their 7 Indians and cleaned over the 3 Window Temple to the floor. They found nothing except 3 stones with holes in them and about a dozen pieces of potsherd, 2 small pieces of which were marked. Erdis with 2 men cleaned out opened "Bottle shape" grave in Sacred Plaza, Measuring from bottom up its dimensions were 2 ft. 4 inches up of dry wall stones varying in size from 3 inches to 2 ft. thick. Bottom was rounded and at top of dry wall was about 3 ft. 4 in. inside diameter. Above this was a mixture of cement, small stones, and a few about a foot thick, with a little earth to a height of 2 ft. above the dry stone wall and, over that about a foot of earth to the surface. Found one badly rotted bone and one potsherd unmarked in grave. At top of dry stone wall grave appeared to be almost flat slightly inclining upward in center.

Erdis moved behind house at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza, and continued yesterday's work. In one place about 1 foot deep found 10 polishing stones together. Close to the surface found a broken iron knife blade, but as a cave 10 ft. away has been occupied by the natives, it seems but fair to assume that it came from there. Got 2 cut stone (granite) broken pottery handles a foot deep. Pottery was from surface to a little over a foot deep. Also got broken stone grinding utensil, in corner of room under the fallen wall, and about 1 1/2 ft. deep. At 2 ft. depth got obsidian knife blade complete except handle. Knife is about 6 in. long, and modelled much on the lines of the present day hunter's skinning knife. At 2 ft. depth got small olla or pot, cracked, but all there except neck, which had been broken off. Dueno's 7 Indians left at 3 P.M. In the morning they dug in round tower, and also in a room north of the stairway, but found nothing. Teniente had clearing gang, and reported a few caves on the

Friday, July 19, 1912

Quit raining during last night - probably about 2 or 3 A.M.
9 Indians came down the hill this morning, and started back with loads
at 9:30 A.M. Dr/Eaton went up the hill with the first loads. Opened
bag #11 which was packed with food and found sugar in fair condition,
slightly damp, salt very damp, chocolate both packages broken, and
running slightly, both packages macaroni broken and damp, but one of them
partly dough, which latter had scattered impartially over about everything
in the bag. Went up the hill myself in 80 minutes with small pack on
my back.

Saturday, July 20, -12

Edris cleared out the spring and walled it up. Got a little
help from the Lieutenant and Jarra. After lunch prospected on the hill
above the "Temple" and found a good sized broken pot in a cave. The
pot was of marked pottery and seemed to be very old.

Sunday, July 21, -12

Dr. Eaton, Erdis and Luis (arriero) went to cave Erdis found
on Saturday and dug. Brought in the pot found yesterday and many fragments
of others. The pottery and a few bones were from the surface to 1 1/2 ft.
in depth. Found one small "cat's head" also. In another cave that
had been opened found a small round pottery bit used in spinning and
in still another opened cave found the fragments of a black pot with
small round ears.

Monday, July 22 - 12.

Started to excavate main Temple with 7 Indians, arriero, Lieu-
tenant and Jarra. Dug trench across open entrance first. Top soil was 6
inches vegetable mould, then a level floor, composed of decomposed
granite (mostly), clay and a little lime, which had been apparently laid

Tuesday, July 23 - 12.

Drs. Aguilar and Giesecke with a party of students from Cuzco University (15 in all) visited the ruins, and am happy to state that J.M. Ochoa, who formed one of the party and who had inscribed his name promiscuously over the most prominent ruins, on a former visit, found some all erased. In afternoon Erdis helped Prof. Eaton to take measurements of the Intihuatana stone on the point north of the Main Temple. Visitors departed in afternoon. The Indians were out hunting caves of the dead all day, and found 8. There is another Intihuatana stone in cave under Round Tower.

Wednesday, July 24 - 12.

Lieutenant with 2 Indians started again cleaning out house (1st south of Round Tower in Princess Row. About 2 ft. below surface of rubbish, encountered the floor, which was slightly sloping upward from the door to the rear, and was about 8 to 10 inches thick of hard packed decomposed granite. About five and a half ft. from the rear of the apartment, a division of the apartment was created by a cut stone

6

(2 of them), which crossed from wall to wall, was about 1 ft. wide, and stood up above the floor about 6 inches. Back of this the floor was about 4 inches higher and in the center was a flat out stone about 4 1/2 ft. diameter, and of about 3/4 of a circle, and whose back part was perpendicular (approx.) and formed a part of the wall to the height of over a foot. For 2 ft. below the floor, nothing was found except one piece of pottery and charcoal. On the floor were a few sling (?) stones. Harra had 3 men excavating at rear of Main Temple, both in a wall and in a room there. Found one piece of pottery in shape of a Llama foot, and a number of unmarked pieces, also about a dozen sling (?) stones, one of which contained iron, and perhaps other metal, as it was extremely heavy.

Thursday, July 25 - 12.

Prof. Eton, Erdis, the soldier and 4 Indians started this morning for the caves of the dead, which were along way down hill, over an awful jungle trail. The soldier dug out a broken skull, some bones, and an olla from a deep crevice in the rocks. Close by, Erdis picked up most of the fragments of 2 ollas from a cave which had apparently been opened. The soldier also drew up some bones from the bottom of an almost vertical hole under a rock, about 8 ft. deep. The Indians went off to hunt more caves, and about 1:30 P.M. returned with news of 5 further up the hill. We went up, and the first one we opened was empty while the next one had a number of human bones but no skull.

7

Friday, July 26 - 12.

Erdis packed a box, set up a tent and did chores in the morning, and in the afternoon accompanied by Luis, went into a large opened cave, which was 4 compartments in depth, and was a little below the brow of the hill on the east side. Found many pieces of broken pottery, a few bones, and in the 3d compartment found a skull of a large rodent. The Lieutenant also brought in a few surface pieces from the amphitheater, a very few bones and some large teeth. The doctor and Prof. Eaton were above camp on the hill, and brought in a skull, human bones, and some beautiful pieces of pottery. Jerra had a clearing gang.

Dr. Eaton injected 1,000,000 dead typhoid bugs into Erdis's left arm, it being the 2d anti-typhoid infection.

Saturday, July 27 - 12.

Erdis's arm pained badly during the night, and was sore and stiff all day. Also had a headache and general "dead" feeling, but decided to postpone the funeral for some time. The Indians (5) brought up tent, etc. from the foot of the hill, and Bestor, Erdis and Luis packed a box with specimens. Dr. Bingham took pictures, and Prof. Eaton brought in bones and pottery. Erdis did not go out to work.

Ranch owner's son arrived with 7 Indians and a story about the Greater Machu Picchu being over a hill south of this place.

Sunday, July 28.

Peru's Independence Day. Put up "Old Glory" over the large tent. Dr. Eaton and Erdis took a walk over the Amphitheater in the afternoon, and Erdis picked up quite a number of pieces of pottery (later) that the Lieutenant had overlooked below the windows of 3 Window Temple.

8

Monday, July 29 - 12.

Erdis stayed in camp and read Holmes on Yucatan and Mexican
ruins. The first couple of hours in the morning it rained quite hard
and the cook tent leaked some. The men did not begin till about 9
A.M. Dr. Bingham did not start on his trip. The ranch owner's son
with 7 Indians want out, and managed to muss up some work, but got
nothing except experience. Dr. Eaton went out with several Indians
and returned with a number of specimens - skull and broken pots I think,
It showered several times during the day. The Lieutenant had a
clearing gang about and around Princess Row.

Tuesday, July 30 - 12.

Erdis had 3 Indians digging below (east) of the 3 Window
Temple for "tiestos". Found about 7 pottery heads, an obsidian knife
(?), some polishing stones, a very curious small pottery ball, a
piece of paint (?), and more marked pottery. Moved down to opened
cave under brow of hill east of amphitheater, and found that the gang
of 7 Indians from the ranch had mussed up things badly, closing up
the entrance to the other 3 compartments behind. Found a few more
pieces of marked pottery, and a pottery head. This was the cave at
which Erdis and Luis worked on the 26th. Later moved up to back of
house, which is by S.E. side of Sacred Plaza, and found some pottery
heads one of which looked like a cat's, and had nice ears, and cat whiskers,
also several polishing balls and very few pieces of marked pottery.
The Lieutenant had a clearing gang above Princess Row. Dr. Bingham,
Jarra, ranch owner's son and 8 Indians started to hunt for Greater
Machu Picchu. Prof. Eaton when after more caves with 2 Indians.
We also found a broken bronze ax a foot or so deep, at back of house
at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza.

Wednesday, July 31 - 12.

Randh owner's son and Jarra took their 7 Indians and cleaned over the 3 Window Temple to the floor. They found nothing except 3 stones with holes in them and about a dozen pieces of potsherd, 2 small pieces of which were marked. Erdis and 2 men cleaned out opened "Bottle shape" grave in Sacred Plaza. Measuring from bottom up its dimensions were 2 ft. 4 inches up ⑈f⑈, dry wall stones varying in size from 3 inches to 2 ft. thick. Bottom was rounded and at top of dry wall was about 3 ft. 4 in. inside diameter. Above this was a mixture of cement, small stones, and a few about a foot thick, with a little earth to a height of 2 ft. above the dry stone wall and, over that about a foot of earth to the surface. Found one badly rotted bone and one potsherd unmarked in grave. At top of dry stone wall grave appeared to be almost flat slightly inclined upward in center.

Erdis moved behind house at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza, and continued yesterday's work. In one place about 1 foot deep about 10 polishing stones together. Close to the surface found a broken iron knife blade, but as a cave 10 ft. away has been occupied by the natives, it seems but fair to assume that it came from there. Got 2 cut stone (granite) broken pottery handles a foot deep. Pottery was from surface to a little over a foot deep. Also got broken stone grinding utensil, in corner of room under the fallen wall, and about 1 1/2 ft. deep. At 2 ft. depth got obidian knife blade complete except handle. Knife is about 6 in. long, and modelled much on the lines of the present day hunter's skinning knife. At 2 ft. depth got small olla or pot, cracked, but all there except neck, which had been broken off. Dgeño's 7 Indians left at 3 p.m. In the morning they dug in round tower, and also in a room north of the stairway, but found nothing. Teniente had clearing gang, and reported a few caves on the

10

hill, with bones and tiestos, which Jarra wanted to prospect with the
Indians, but I refused on the plea that it was necessary for the
Professor to take a picture before disturbing anything. Just before
quitting work ran into a "nest" of 6 polishing stones.

August 1 - 12. (Thursday)

Endis with 2 men continued work of yesterday back of house
at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza. Found 2 pieces of metal about 2 ft.
deep, and 3 ft. apart, about 30 ft. back of house on S.E. side of
Sacred Plaza. Also got many more polishing or sling stones, a few
pieces of marked pottery, a couple of pottery oat and birds heads, and
2 small pieces of pottery marked with the body of a snake. The pottery
varied from 6 inches to 2 ft. deep. Got a small quartz crystal also,
and one piece (small) of the green stone used on top of walls, about
2 inches long, and apparently shaped for an ornament. One curious
thing that I've noticed here is, that under old stone walls which still
stand up 2 to 4 ft. above ground, and extend 2 ft. to 2 1/2 ft.
under ground, we have repeatedly dug out potsherds from under the
foot of the walls, (6 inches or more below the foot and under same),
showing clearly that the potsherds were dropped there before the walls
were built.

Friday, August 2 - 12.

Endis with 2 men continued work of yesterday up to and under
overhanging rock 40 ft. back of House at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza.
Found a number of polishing stones, a very few marked pieces of pottery,
a number of small rounded smooth pebbles about 1 inch diameter and
one flat headed round potsherd handle. Moved to corner (east?)
of house at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza and sunk a hole 1 1/2 ft. deep,
but ground was very hard and stony, so started again to look for
potsherds, Bestor was with me. About 10 A.M. an Indian arrived with

11

note for Dr.Bingham from Heald stating that his Indians refused to go further and wanted to be paid off. We sent him to Prof. Eaton with note, but he went back down hill without seeing him. Got a couple of odd shaped potsherd handle heads, and one piece of the green stone used on tops of walls. It was in size and shape like a 50 cent piece. Got one baboon head pottery, and another with 3 vertical eyes (?) and mouth and very thick neck. Found also at 1 1/2 ft. depth a smooth stone pestle, rounded, about 3 in. diameter, and 8 inches long.

Saturday, August 3, - 12.

Erdis running all last night and today with diarrhea. Did not work and ate no breakfast or dinner. Bestor went out, and continued work, of yesterday. Got a lovely bronze topu, or rather knife at 1 foot depth. It was perfect too. Several pottery heads, some polishing stones, and about half (broken in 2 pieces) of a fine cut stone about the size of half a dollar, perforated with a small hole. In the evening one of the Teniente's Indians brought in a fine cut stone (granite) bowl shaped utensil, perfect except that it was cracked across the bottom. It was about 1 foot across by 6 in. in depth, and was shaped somewhat thus--

Bestor's men also discovered at 1 foot depth a stone vessel made from a half round boulder, on top it was flattened and the hole in it was oblong and rather small and shallow for the size of the Boulder.

Sunday, August 4 - 12.

Jarra went to Intihuatana and reported that Dr. Bingham had sent Marcus (arriero) up to meet Dr. Nelson. He brought me back some bananas. Bestor went down the hill to wait for Dr. Nelson's arrival, but he did not come.

12

Monday, August 5, -12

Erdis continued Bestor's work in a round apartment at shuth side of big boulder 40 ft. south or back of house at S.E, side of Sacred Plaza, but found nothing except a few unmarked potsherds, and started a hole in N. end of Sacred Plaza, and later sunk 2 more holes there, but found nothing except a very few unmarked potsherds. Came to Main Stairway, and started on its north side, where there is another stairway 3' or 4' lower for about 20 ft. distance (About 2 tiers above Princess Row) Found a lot of potsherds. Moved north along terrace (right at back of uppermost house for about 35 feet), then moved to narrow terrace 6 ft. wide, just above it.

Tuesday, August 6 - 12.

Continued work of yesterday. Got many beautifully marked potsherds, and a few polishing stones. Dr. Eaton helped some. He pieced together 2 beautiful plates. Some of the "heads" on pottery were very odd. We seem to strike a new design of "cat's head" almost every day. The pieces of fairly thin pottery were so plentiful and seemed to belong together, that we decided it would be wise to save all except the very thick unmarked stuff. Moved to 2d terrace at rear of houses (above).

Wednesday, August 7 - 12.

Rained during the night, and all day. Nothing doing, except to send 2 Indians down to foot of hill with note for Dr. Nelson.

Thursday, August 8 - 12.

Lieutenant fired 5 shots about 8:20 P.M. at a bear (?), that he said was after the chickens. Erdis got a lovely little stone pestle about 2 in. thick and 6 or 7 in. long from a house on south side of Main Stairway on second tier above Princess Row, and a boulder mortar with a small round hole about 4 in. across and 2 in. deep in it. Moved

13

to 3d terrace at rear of houses and north of upper end of straight part of Main Stairway. Found broken bronze "champe", a potsherd llama foot of fine shape. Very much of the potsherds are so fragile when taken out that one can't clean them without breaking them, as the clayey soil sticks so hard, and also thick that it is better not to have them too clean, and also mixed with plain ones, as then they won't look so attractive, and are not so likely to be chosen by other parties. After dinner Dr. Eaton shot a million dead typhoid bugs in my left arm. Got almost half of a granite cut stone dish, forming part of wall at upper end of main stairway on north side. Got piece of heavy obsidian knife, and one spotted pot handle. Moved across to highest terrace south of houses on east side of Amphitheater and under 3 windows but only got half an olla, one round straight handle, and some green stone "scrapers".

Friday, August 9 - 12.

Erdis had "dead" feeling and stiff sore arm from infection of yesterday. Did not work. Bestor searched north of Main Stairway on same terrace as upper house. Found 2 "birds heads", some green stone "poker chips", some round potsherd handles, and 2 "bat's heads", and some marked pottery.

At supper time just a few drops of rain fell. Teniente and Jarre continued with clearing gang at houses east of Amphitheater.

Saturday, August 10 - 12.

Continued Bestor's work of yesterday for about 35 ft. along the Terrace. Got a few pieces of marked potsherds, and some "heads", also a number of green stone scrapers. Found a ring of white metal looking rather modern, as if it had been made to hold a stone. Could not tell at what depth it was, as we found it in raking over the dirt. Moved back up to the circular apartment back of house at S.E. side of

10.

Aug. 1 - 12. (Thurs.)

Erdis with 2 men continued work of yesterday back of house
at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza. Found 2 pieces of metal about 2 ft.
deep, and 3 ft. apart, about 30 ft. back of house on S.E. side of
Sacred Plaza. Also got many more polishing or sling stones, a few
pieces of marked pottery, a couple of pottery cat and birds heads, and
2 small pieces of pottery marked with the body of a snake. The pottery
varied from 6 inches to 2 ft. deep. Got a small quartz crystal also,
and one piece (small) of the green stone used on top of walls, about
2 inches long, and apparently shaped for an ornament. One curious
thing that I've noticed here is, that under old stone walls which still
stand up 2 to 4 ft. above ground, and extend 2 ft. to 2 1/2 ft.
under ground, we have repeatedly dug out potsherds from under the
foot of the walls, (6 inches or more below the foot and under same),
showing clearly that the potsherds were dropped there before the walls
were built.

Fri. Aug. 2- 12.

Erdis with 2 men continued work of yesterday up to and un-
der overhanging rock 40 ft. back of House at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza.
Found a number of polishing stones, a very few marked pieces of pot-
tery, a number of small rounded smooth pebbles about 1 inch diameter
and one flat headed round potsherd handle. Moved to corner (east?)
of house at S.E. side of Sacred Plaza and sunk a hole 1 1/2 ft. deep,
but ground was very hard and stony, so started again to look for
potsherds. Bestor was with me. About 10 A.M. an Indian arrived with

14.

Sacred Plaza to go some deeper in center, but got nothing, so moved to S.W. side of 2d large boulder back of House on S.E. side of Sacred Plaza. Got a number of "cats heads", one piece with part of a snake, a handle with hind legs and tail of a lizard (?), about half a pot with 2 handles on same side at different heights, some very pretty potsherds, green stone scrapers, etc. Think it wise to save all this pottery, as know that much of it will fit together. Got half of a lovely little olla about 3 in. high with a handle. In the evening Stephenson arrived with Ricardo.

Sunday, August 11, 1912.

Took Stephenson over all the ruins in the morning. After dinner the Indians brought up five loads from down the hill. It rained hard during most of the afternoon. Beator went down the hill with the five Indians.

Note — Charcoal is invariably found in the caves, scattered through the soil.

Monday, August 12, 1912.

Heavy rain during night, and hard showers most all

of camp, about 1 1/4 ft. diameter, which was dish on one side,
and table stone on other; with it were hammer stone and polishing

Dr. Eaton went down the hill this morning. Ricardo and the
Lieutenant carried his baggage. Ricardo returned at 2 P.M. Showers
all day. Stephenson got in 2 hours work. Erdis went up the hill
proppeeting, but found nothing except more terraces. No sign yet
of arriero from Cuzco.

Tuesday, Aut. 27, 1912:

Showers most all night, very rainy and windy at breakfast
time, with the snow rather low on the hills across the River opposite
camp. Showers best part of day. At 11.30 A.M. arriero from Cuzco
arrived with mail. Said he had put the 6 boxes on this side of the
River. Took my mail out (none for Stephenson) and gave him back the
package. He reported that he had seen Barrios in Urubamba 3 days past,
and that the latter said he was not coming back. Told him to leave
Benigno here as per order of Dr. Bingham, and he demanded a "papelito"—
what for I don't know. Did not give him one, and he did not send
Benigno.

Wednesday, Aug. 28, 1912

Asked Lieutenant to go to Urubamba and get money from
Barrios, have him punished, and bring men. Lieutenant said that
probably Jimenez would be back today with the men, and if he were
not, he'd go tomorrow/ Rather cloudy, but hope it won't rain. Soldier
got up from Intihuatana at 11.30 A.M. Brought me S/5 of cigarettes,
S/1 of queso, 2 ears of green corn, told me he had borrowed the
other S/4, and said that 7 Indians came up the other way and would go

to 3d terrace at rear of houses and north of upper end of straight part
of Main Stairway. Found broken bronze "champe", a potsherd llama foot
of fine shape. Very much of the potsherds are so fragile when taken out
that one can't clean them without breaking them, as the clayey soil
sticks so hard, and also thick that it is better not to have them too
clean, and also mixed with plain ones, as then they won't look so attrac-
tive, and are not so likely to be chosen by other parties. After dinner
Dr. Eaton shot a million dead typhoid bugs in my left arm. Got almost
half of a granite cut stone dish, forming part of wall at upper end of
main stairway on north side. Got piece of heavy obsidian knife, and one
spotted pot handle. Moved across to highest terrace south of houses on

to work after dinner. Said that Barrios did not come back, but had
sent our cigarettes by the Indians ($/6.00 worth). Barrios sent 23
packages of 20 each of Mascota cigarrettes. Men say that Barrios
will come tomorrow with 3 more men. Men pleaded after dinner to rest
till morning, so did not send them down the hill after the boxes.
There was a boy with the 7 men that they asked to have hired, and
did so at 30c a day.

Thursday, Aug. 29, 1914.

3 more men arrived yesterday afternoon and the 11 ( 10 men
and boy) went to work this morning. Sent 6 men and boy down the hill
for packages. They brought the 6 boxes up but no paper. They were
in charge of the soldier. Started the others with the Lieutenant
to clearing a trail from north end of gardens to top of hill west of
Huayna Picchu. Found about 14 or 15 terraces on east side of hill
connected with projecting stone stairs, also a few stairways, and
on other side of Notch are 3 or 4 andenes very nicely built. On
south side of hill are a couple of small terraces near the top.
Beyond the Notch there is nothing in the direction of Huayna Picchu
except one small terrace about 10 ft. long on south side of next
(small) hill near the top. Don't know what I'll do without paper,
as there is nothing in camp except a few (3 or 4) newspapers.
Ricardo (Richarte ?) is fixing his chacra and Alvarez is at Intihuatana.
I think doing the same thing. Stephenson asks that Gardens be cleared
at once, so that he can work there, so will cut the brush at once,
for his benefit. At 11.55 A.M. the boy has just arrived with the
paper. Thank the Lord. In afternoon I unpacked 4 grub boxes and put
them in 2 sacks and packed 2 of the boxes with bones. Jacinto Barrios
arrived with striped vest, and a letter from the Governor of Ollantaytambo

Friday, Aug. 30, 1912

Found second white metal ornament about size of a 20c piece, same as the other, and pierced also, in the center of the apartment at a foot depth, and about 2 ft. from the first.

Also found irregular oblong granite stone about 1 1/2 ft. x 1 ft. x 4 or 5 inches thick, smoothed on one side, evidently used as household utensil.

Sunday, Sept. 1, 1912.

Lieutenant told me yesterday afternoon that the men from Ollantaytambo would all leave at the end of the week, and that if I did not at once send for another bunch, the work would stop, so this morning Lieutenant wrote letter for me to the Gobernador for 10 men and started Barrios back. Gave him 8/11.00 fpr 10 men and himself. Looks like a graft, as only 7 were sent of the 10 called for, and 3 others showed up the next day. Think the Governor got 3 soles out of it, but don't see how to escape it if we are to keep the work going. Very rainy till noon and a little after noon. Lieutenant and our man went to Intihuatana (sent man) for coffee, meat, matches, etc. and they did not get back today.

At 1 ft. deep got a peculiar barrel shaped piece of pottery about 2 1/2 inches long x 1 inch thick, hollow with hole in side, and a small sort of hole at each end. (Think this a whistle, E.G.E.) Got green stone disk about 6 inches diameter, and many sherds, mostly plain. At 1 foot got small pottery ornament marked with parallel lines (1/2 inch diameter) and also piece of paint.

Room No. 29A continued.

Got hammer stone at 1 foot in front of doorway, also small piece of bone. Bones seem to be very scarce in rooms.

Sunday, Sept. 8, 1912.

Went down to a cave in old building about 5th terrace
below Princess Row, and got a part of a skull, and 3 leg bones
from it, as they were in sight, and men are not thru clearing
there. Took a walk thru ruin and in east corner of buildings opposite
venter of gardens, found a wonderful circular dish about 2 ft. diameter,
and 2 or 3 inches deep, cut in an immense boulder in room. Sent
Ricardo below for change, as am afraid that may run out, also for
matches. Also we unpacked 2 grub boxes, and I screwed cover on one
already packed, but as got a couple of bad blisters on my fingers
desisted. After dinner "scooped out" the tents, and went up to
steps and tunnel above Richarte's place. Tunnel is only for purpose
of going under road for the animals I think. Stevenson and I
used 2 boxes of matches starting fires, but they all went out --
brush too damp. Sent Ricardo to Intihuatana for coca spoken of

Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1912

Stevenson and Ricardo moved camp down on the River this morning to be gone a week. He took one of the men with him, as he has had one for the last couple of weeks, also one other to move down, who will be back about noon, I suppose. Erdis finished packing bones and sherds, and packed the 3 empty boxes, then went down and fixed the store tent, which had 3 bottom corner ropes broken.

Richarte says that the skeletons hands were up at its ears, that it was crouched, and the wood was at its feet.

### Cave No. 75.

½ way up M.P. Mountain on side towards Intihuatana. Got 2 skulls, arm, leg and other bones, jaws, etc., and part of skeleton of a very small animal. Also one small sherd. One of the lower legs had been broken at some time, and the large and small bone have grown together.

Stevenson came back to camp, at supper time, as he can't check out and says he'll have to check over a lot of his work.
