Thus the pueblo at the Davis ranch, tentatively dated at about 

 A.D. 1350-1425, appears to be Mogollon in character intermixed with 

 sizable portions of Hopi, Salado, and Zuni traits. It would appear 

 that the pueblo was the end product of a long cultural growth and 

 not a Zuni "suburb." There is a close tie-up with Foote Canyon 

 pueblo dug in 1955 in New Mexico and the pueblo excavated here. 



George I. Quimby, Curator of North American Archaeology and 

 Ethnology, continued his research on problems of archaeology and 

 environment in the Upper Great Lakes region. He made study trips 

 to museums and universities in Wisconsin and Michigan and con- 

 ducted field research in northeastern Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula 

 of Michigan, and the north shore of Lake Superior (see page 40). 

 Field researches included an archaeological survey of Washington 

 Island in northern Lake Michigan and a reconnaissance of the 

 Point Beach State Forest area in northeastern Wisconsin, A study 

 of site loci and fossil beaches in this area showed that a complex of 

 stone and copper tools and weapons and polished stone ceremonial 

 objects were later than the Algoma Beach stage in the Lake Michigan 

 basin and belonged to the late Archaic period (about 900 B.C. to 

 400 B.C.) of the Upper Great Lakes region. Curator Quimby was 

 assisted by Winston Elting and James R. Gretz in an archaeological 

 survey of the coastal region of Lake Superior — the vicinity of Huron 

 Mountain in northern Michigan, the Grand Portage area of northern 

 Minnesota, and parts of Ontario as far east as the Pic River. Impor- 

 tant collections were obtained in the vicinity of Pass Lake, Ontario, 

 and the mouth of the Pic River. The earliest recovered specimens 

 date from about 7000 B.C. and the latest at about a.d. 1700. 



Dr. Kenneth Starr, Curator of Asiatic Archaeology and Ethnol- 

 ogy, centered his research in the study of the Museum's fine collec- 

 tion of Chinese rubbings (ink impressions on paper of inscriptions 

 and designs on steles, bronze vessels, shrine and tomb walls, pottery, 

 bricks, and tiles). This research, which involved the translation of 

 relevant materials from Chinese and other languages, consisted 

 of investigations into the origin and development of the practice of 

 making rubbings, the materials and techniques used, the uses of 

 rubbings and rubbing techniques, and the collecting and handling 

 of rubbings (see facing page). 



Dr. Roland W. Force, Curator of Oceanic Archaeology and 

 Ethnology, spent from early February through mid-July in London 

 where he was engaged in the documentation of the Fuller Collection 

 of ethnological and archaeological materials from the Pacific Islands 

 (see pages 21 and 50) and in the preparation of the collection for ship- 

 ment to the Museum. The documentation is extremely complete
