and that of the remainder has been described recently by 
Gunnerson (n.d. b). This very interesting and important 
maize collection contains excellently preserved specimens 
from Fremont sites well distributed over that part of 
eastern Utah north of the Colorado River. The collection 
includes 226 ears, cobs and fragments of cobs in which a 
complete cross section is retained, plus other miscellane- 
ous maize remains. A full tabulation and description of 
this material is in preparation, but only sites yielding 
definite evidence of Maiz de Ocho are included in Table 
I of this report. About 10% of the Fremont maize ex- 
amined is eight-rowed, but some of these specimens show 
strong tripsacoidness. On the other hand, however, some 
ten- and twelve-rowed specimens show significant incre- 
crements of Maiz de Ocho. 
A few of the samples of Fremont maize were found in 
isolated rock shelters without associated diagnostic arti- 
facts. However, since these sites are in areas where the 
Fremont Culture is the only horticultural archaeological 
complex, it is safe to assign these finds to Fremont. The 
finding at other sites of Maiz de Ocho specimens asso- 
ciated with diagnostic Fremont artifacts and with a wide 
range of other maize, mostly that here defined as Fre- 
mont Dent, helps substantiate the assignment of the iso- 
lated finds. 
Other archaeological maize from the Southwest that 
has been examined or re-examined includes portions of 
the Peabody Museum Collections made by Guernsey 
and Kidder in northeastern Arizona and by Cosgrove in 
southwestern New Mexico. These two collections rep- 
resent the Kayenta Anasazi and Mogollon cultures, 
respectively. 
Certain changes that took place in the Pueblo II 
period, when considered along with the advent of Maiz 
de Ocho, raise questions such as the following: Did the
