East Court. 
ARCHAEOLOGY OF AMERICA. 
The Central Floor Space. 
The installation of the exhibits of this court and its alcoves 
may not be considered permanent, as collections are constantly 
being added which necessitate the shifting of the position of the 
collections. The general plan, however, is to keep the collec- 
tions from South America in the south alcoves, and the collections 
illustrating processes of manufacture of stone implements, in 
the center of the court in the south row of cases. 
Beginning at the west is a case containing a group of three 
Indians executed in plaster and elaborated with much detail. 
They are represented as engaged in the work of quarrying 
boulders and roughing out stone implements from them, there 
is also a case containing a model of the Serpent Moimd in Adams 
coimty, Ohio. About these cases are many interesting repro- 
ductions of Central American stone carvings. 
The contents of several table cases are devoted to illustrat- 
ing the ancient flint, copper, soapstone and red pipestone quar- 
ries of the United States. 
Eleven table cases contain interesting archaeological material 
from Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, 
Indiana, Maine, and Canada, and objects from the Cliff Dwell- 
ings of Utah. 
Six table cases on the north side contain interesting and 
valuable collections from Yucatan, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Mexico. 
At the east end of the court are models of the Pueblos of 
Hano, Arizona, Taos, New Mexico, Acoma, New Mexico, and 
Penasco Blanco, New Mexico. 
Swung at various points beneath the galleries are boats rep- 
resenting many primitive peoples, and along the sides and at 
the ends of the court are exhibited totem poles or heraldic 
columns from British Columbia and Alaska.
