and the amount remaining at the time of the excavations, I 

 think it is safe to presume that the whole structure, with one 

 exception, was composed of rock. The wall separating rooms 



V and VI was entirely too thin to allow of being built of stone, 

 and was in all probability made of willows woven together and 

 plastered over. The division wall extended clear across the 

 room to a height of eighteen inches, and although no opening 

 for communication showed at this height, it is more than pos- 

 sible that these two rooms were connected by some opening in 

 the division wall higher up, considering the fact that in room 



VI no post holes remained showing any indications of their 

 having had a ladder for communication with the roof. 



It is much to be regretted that out of the vast amount of 

 material that has been collected in and around the 100 or more 

 village sites enumerated in Brower's Harahey, not more than 

 a dozen specimens have been secured for the University collec- 

 tion of archaeological material. Yet Brower states that more 

 than 10,000 archaeological specimens have been gathered, and 

 are deposited in the museum of the State Historical Society of 

 Minnesota. 



As a means of advancing the study of the earliest history 

 of the state, and as an inducement to students interested in 

 archaeology and ethnology, scarcely could there be anything 

 more valuable and important than a well labeled, systemat- 

 ically arranged series of archaeological specimens collected 

 from these historical old village sites of Quivira and Harahey, 

 visited so long ago by Coronado and his followers. 



I here wish to convey my thanks to Dr. C. E. McClung for 

 his assistance in the preparation of this paper, and for his 

 kindly advice and corrections. 



In the near future a model of these interesting ruins, the 

 first ever inhabited by white man in the state of Kansas, will 

 be constructed and placed in the University museum.
