the campo santo adjacent to the church. All collections 

 gathered at Giiisiwa have been deposited in the National 

 Museum. 



Other immense ruins on the summits of the mesas bound- 

 ing the valley on the west were examined with the view 

 of their future excavation. The exact position of the 

 Jemez tribe among the Pueblo peoples is a problem, and 

 both archeological and ethnological studies thereof are 

 essential to its determination. 



On completing this reconnoissance excavation was con- 

 ducted in a cemetery at the great stone pueblo of Puye, on 

 a mesa 8 miles west of the Tewa village of Santa Clara. 

 About 50 burials were exhumed and sent to the National 

 Museum, liut artifacts were not found in abundance here, 

 and as a rule they are not excellent in quality. In the 

 joint work in the Rito de los Frijoles the expedition was 

 fortimate in having the cooperation of Prof. Jvmius Hen- 

 derson and Prof. W. W. Robbins, of the University of 

 Colorado at Boulder, who, respectively, while the excava- 

 tions were in progress, conducted studies in the ethno- 

 zoology and the ethnobotany of the Tewa Indians, and 

 also on the influence of climate and geology on the life of 

 the early inhabitants of the Rito de los Frijoles. At the 

 same time Mr. J. P. Harrington continued his researches 

 in Tewa geographic nomenclature and cooperated with 

 Professors Henderson and Robbins in supplying the native 

 terms for plants and animals used by these Indians as 

 food and medicine in ceremonies and for other purposes. 

 The expedition was also fortunate in having the services 

 of Mr. Sylvanus G. Morley in connection with the excava- 

 tions in the Rito, of Mr. K. M. Chapman in the study of 

 the decoration of the pottery and of the pictographs of 

 the entire upper Rio Grande region, of Mr. Jesse L. Nus- 

 baxmi in the photographic work, and of Mr. J. P. Adams 

 in the surveying. Valued aid was also rendered by INlessrs. 

 Neil M. Judd, Donald Beauregard, and Nathan Goldsmith. 



The scientific results of the joint research are rapidly 

 nearing completion and will be submitted to the bureau for 

 publication at an early date.
