ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 5 



of the greatest importance, forming an all but lost link 

 between the cultures of northern and southern California. 



After the death of Doha Ascension at the end of January, 

 1930, Mr. Harrington spent some weeks in checking up on 

 the information in every way possible, copying from the 

 archives at San Juan Mission, working at the Bancroft 

 Library at Berkeley, Calif., and interviewing many individ- 

 uals, and returned to Washington in April, since which time 

 he has been engaged in preparing a report on the work for 

 publication. 



Dr. F. H. H. Roberts, jr., archeologist, devoted the fiscal 

 3^ear to a number of activities. July, August, and the first 

 part of September, 1929, were spent conducting excavations 

 at the Long H Ranch, between St. Johns and Houck, in 

 eastern Arizona. The work was begun in May and contin- 

 ued through June of the preceding fiscal year, so that the 

 investigations extending from July to the middle of Septem- 

 ber were a continuation of work already under way. At the 

 completion of the summer's work the remains of three 

 different types of houses had been uncovered. These 

 included 18 pit houses, the vestiges of three jacal (pole and 

 mud) structures, and a pueblo ruin mth 49 rooms, and 4 

 kivas or circular ceremonial rooms. 



The pit houses were found to correspond in many respects 

 with those dug up by Doctor Roberts in the Chaco Canyon, 

 in northwestern New Mexico, during the summer of 1927 and 

 described in Bulletin 92 of the Bureau of American Eth- 

 nology. The jacal houses were found to have been quite 

 comparable to a similar tj^je found in southern Colorado 

 during the field season of 1928. The latter were extensively 

 described in Bulletin 96 of the bureau. The pueblo revealed 

 an unusually clear-cut story of the growth and changes in a 

 communal dwelling. The building had not been erected 

 according to a preconceived plan but had grown by degrees 

 through the addition of new units. It was quite evident 

 that such additions had taken place at four different periods 

 in the occupation of the building. 



Doctor Roberts returned to Washington in October. 

 The autumn months were devoted to reading and correcting
