The south side of the hall is devoted to the collections show- 
ing the culture of the tribes of the pueblos of New Mexico and 
Arizona and the clifi-dwellings of Colorado and Utah. a. pyepio 
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 PWellers- 
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 Cafion, 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.
