REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 61 



Archeology held at Hacienda Chiclin. At this time he presented a 

 preliminary smnmary of his field results. 



After the work in Virii was terminated, Dr. Willey made a brief 

 visit to the Lambayeque Valley, north of the city of Trujillo, and 

 examined collections in the important but little-known Bruning 

 Museum. Eeturning south to Lima, he began a protracted trip by 

 automobile, going from Lima to Caamana and from there inland to the 

 Lake Titicaca region. From Puno, on the lake, he proceeded north to 

 Cuzco, Ayacucho, Huancayo, and returned to Lima. During this 

 trip, which consumed some 2 to 3 weeks during the month of Septem- 

 ber, he visited numerous archeological sites. The most signiiicant of 

 these was the great architectural cluster at Huari near Ayacucho, the 

 presumed center for the Middle Period Tiahuanacoid diffusion 

 throughout Peru. 



Upon his return to the United States in October Dr. Willey pre- 

 pared several short papers and began the initial work of organizing 

 notes, maps, and photographs on the Viru settlement-pattern study. 

 He was engaged in this until x\pril of 1947. For the last 3 months of 

 the fiscal year he transferred his research interests toward tlie com- 

 pletion of a large monograph on the archeology of the Florida Gulf 

 coast. This latter work, which embraces earlier field work of the 

 author, as well as past field studies made by the Bureau in the Florida 

 Gulf area, is intended as an over-all archeological summary of the 

 region. 



During the year Dr. Willey also served as assistant editor to the 

 professional journal, American Antiquity, and submitted various news 

 items on recent researches in archeology in South America. He held 

 a similar position with the Handbook of Latin i\jnerican Studies for 

 which he prepared bibliogi'aphic extracts on some 50 titles dealing 

 with South American archeology and wrote a general summary of 

 recent archeological activities for the South American Continent dur- 

 ing the year 1945. 



In April Dr. Willey visited the Public Museum at Rochester, N. Y., 

 where he delivered a lecture on the Virii work before the annual meet- 

 ing of the New York State Archeological Society. 



The following articles were written by Dr. Willey during the fiscal 

 year 1946-47 : 



1. The Viru Valley Program in Northern Peru. Acta Americana, vol. 4, No. 4, 



1046. 



2. A Middle Period Cemetery in the Viru Valley, Northern Peru. Journ. Wash-
