SECOND FLOOR 35 



The south side of the hah is devoted to the collections show- 

 ing the culture of the tribes of the pueblos of New Mexico and 

 Arizona and the cliff-dwellings of Colorado and Utah, j^^ Puebio 

 Some of these peoples are now extinct, others still and the 

 survive. At the entrance (east) is a large series of the Cliff- 



various kinds of pottery from the pueblos. Here too ^^ ^^^' 

 is a Navajo blanket in process of weaving. A neighboring case 

 exhibits, by means of raw and prepared materials, tools and 

 photographs, the methods employed by the Pueblo in making 

 pottery and cloth. The manner of preparing native colors and 

 dyes forms a part of this exhibit. In the next upright case, 

 the Hopi "katcinas, " or dolls, and "the trousseau of a bride" 

 give further hints as to the life in the modern pueblos. 



Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric ruin in the Chaco Canon, New 

 Mexico, has furnished through the Hyde Expedition a won- 

 derful array of choice objects. These have been in- Pueblo 

 stalled in the center of this side of the hall, and Bonito. 

 include chalcedony and obsidian arrow points ; stone implements 

 of many kinds ; bone needles, awls, bodkins and chisels ; pottery 

 bowls, pitchers and jars; turquoise beads, pendants and figures, 

 to the number of more than fifty thousand ; arrows, spears and 

 axes. A series of flutes shows that these ancient people were 

 cultivated in music. Carved sticks were used in some cere- 

 monials in the same pueblo. 



Other pueblos and the cliff-dwellings have furnished through 

 the same expedition a wealth of material showing the advanced 

 culture of their prehistoric inhabitants. One case shows all 

 kinds of ancient sandals, and exhibits by means of specimens the 

 mode of manufacture and the manner of wearing. A prehistoric 

 cotton blanket is on exhibition, together with the ancient im- 

 plements of weaving. 



A Guide Leaflet, entitled "The Basket Makers of Southeast- 

 ern Utah," describes in some detail the unique collection in the 

 large case in the southwestern corner of the hall. This leaflet 

 may be found attached to the case, or the visitor can purchase 

 it from the attendant. 



The William Demuth Collection of pipes shows the manner 

 of use of smoking-tobacco in many parts of the world.
