ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 11 



Upon the completion of the above work one v^eek was spent 

 in making an archeological survey on the Zuni reservation 

 and in the region west and northwest from that district. As 

 a result of the reconnaissance, a promising site for further 

 investigations was found. Following this, a trip was made 

 to Cortez, Colo., for the purpose of inspecting ruins being 

 excavated by Lee Dawson near the opening into McElmo 

 Canyon, 4 miles southwest from Cortez. It was found that 

 Mr. Dawson had an unusually interesting group of unit-type 

 houses on his property. Of particular interest were the 

 kivas or ceremonial chambers associated with these struc- 

 tures. In many of them the walls had been ornamented with 

 a series of paintings placed in bands encircling the walls. 

 From Cortez the writer went to Denver and from there 

 returned to Washington the middle of October. 



During the winter months, galley, page, and final proofs 

 were read on Bulletin 100, a report on work conducted during 

 the summer of 1929, entitled ''The Ruins of Kiatuthlanna, 

 Eastern Arizona." In addition, the specimens brought in 

 from the summer field work were studied. Drawings and 

 photographs were made of them for use in a report on the 

 work. Six hundred pages of manuscript, entitled ''The 

 Village of the Great Kivas on the Zufii Reservation, New 

 Mexico," was prepared. Thirty text figures were drawn to 

 accompany this manuscript. 



Doctor Roberts left Washington May 14, 1931, for Den- 

 ver, Colo., for the purpose of inspecting and studying the 

 specimens obtained by the Smithsonian Institution-Univer- 

 sity of Denver Cooperative Expedition in the summer of 

 1930 and also for the purpose of examining collections in the 

 Colorado State Museum. He left Denver on May 25 for 

 Santa Fe, N. Mex. At the latter place two days were spent 

 in studying the collections at the Laboratory of Anthropology 

 and at the Museum of New Mexico. From Santa Fe he pro- 

 ceeded to Gallup, N. Mex., where supplies were obtained for 

 a field camp. From Gallup this material was taken to a site 

 ?>% miles south of Allantown, Ariz., where a camp was estab- 

 lished and excavations started on the remains of a large pit-
