NO. 7 PAWNEE ARCHEOLOGY — ^WEDEL 21 



(6) Neither history, ethnography, nor recorded traditions offer 

 any proof that another sedentary horticultural tribe inhabited this 

 locality since the arrival of Europeans. 



These six points sufficiently refute the objections so far raised 

 against identification of the Lower Loup Focus with the Pawnee 

 tribes. There is, therefore, no reason whatsoever for abandoning the 

 hypothesis outlined by Strong wherein the Lower Loup Focus is 

 considered a protohistoric phase of Pawnee culture.
