HALL 14. 
PERU. 
This hall contains collections made by Mr, G. A. Dorsey, and 
Lieutenant Safford. It is entirely devoted to Peruvian antiquities, 
most of the material being the result of excavations made m 
ancient graveyards of various parts of Peru and illustrating the 
culture of the Pre-Columbian Peruvians. 
Case 1. — Contains select pieces found in graves of Ancon 
and in other parts of Peru. The pieces contained in this case are 
especially well preserved. The case contains principally pon- 
chos, bags, feather work, copper ornaments, and a few stone 
implements. 
Case 2. — Pottery found in Chancai. In comparing the con- 
tents of this and the following cases it will be noticed that each 
iocality has its peculiar characteristic type of pottery.

resembles very much the pieces found in Ancon. The two top 
shelves of the case contain specimens from Chimbote.

tery from Ecuador take up the bottom shelf.
