326 KEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1901. 



the Upper Salt Kiver or Zuni type. The forms in gray ware, with 

 geometric decoration in black, are canteens with pierced lugs, handled 

 vases with tubular necks, large flaring bowls, and a small trilobed cup. 

 The red ware was found only in form of bowls of incurved or slightly 

 curved wall form, the decoration in black sometimes outlined with 

 white. Numerous pottery and stone disks were found on the surface, 

 and some shell ornaments, a spindle whorl, arrow smoother, etc., were 

 picked up. Fragments of large coiled vessels with ornamentation 

 formed by indenting the coil ridges were common here. None of these 

 ruins showed above ten rooms. 



Abundant somatological material was secured from Stone Axe, 

 consisting of crania, skeletons, and parts of skeletons, numbering 30 

 entries. The skulls are brachycephalic and show in adults occipital 

 flattening. The skulls of children do not present this feature. It is 

 expected that this material will be described by a competent specialist 

 when comparison may be had with the material collected by Dr. Fewkes 

 and myself in 1896 and 1897 and reported on by Dr. Hrdlicka. Bones 

 of animals brought up during excavation were carefully collected, no 

 mammals larger than deer and antelope being noted. A portion of 

 the skull of a dog was found. 



As mentioned, the affiliations by arts of the Stone Axe people seem 

 to be with the clans migrating from the south to Tusayan, which form 

 an important element in the Hopi complex. The stations to the south 

 in this case have not been located as yet. The next stopping place to 

 the north, I believe, was Biddahoochee, and the route followed was hy 

 Carrizo Creek, which enters the Puerco a few miles west of Adamana, 

 up this wash into the Le Roux Valley, and across into the valley of 

 the Cottonwood, 8 miles southeast of Biddahoochee. (See map, 

 Plate 1.) 



The large stone ruin at Adamana, 9 miles northwest of Stone Axe, 

 does not seem to have been occupied by this clan (see p. 317); neither 

 does the small ruin a short distance north of the Puerco, near Ada- 

 mana. The distance to the Biddahoochee group is about 25 to 30 

 miles by the route indicated, not too great for a single move, longer 

 migrations having been noted in the pueblo region.

For a number of years potter}^ has been coming into Hoi brook from 

 the north, and for the best of reasons the persons collecting pottery 

 for gain were indefinite as to locations until the spoils had been gath- 

 ered. The specimens brought in were usually mixed as to quality and
