[15] The drawings of pottery designs in this article were made by Mrs. M. W. Gill; the stone and other objects were drawn by Mr. R. Weber. [16] A significant feature in the Mimbres form of “urn burial” is the invariable puncturing of the bowl inverted over the head. The ancient Peruvians in some instances appear to have “killed” their mortuary bowls, and life figures depicted on Peruvian pottery are sometimes arranged in pairs as in the Mimbres. [17] Although not placed in the proper locality on his map, this ruin seems to be one of the “pueblos” (Nos. 162–164) mentioned by Dr. Hough.

(The Archæological Bulletin, vol. 4, No. 1, p. 14, 1913.) [19] For a description of ruins at Swarts’ and Brockman’s Mills see C. L. Webster, Archæological and Ethnological Researches in Southwestern New Mexico. (The Archæological Bulletin, vol. 3, No. 4.) [20] It is said that a Spanish bell in the Chamber of Commerce at Deming, was dug up on this ranch near the ruin. This bell might indicate an old mission at this place. [21] The author visited these rocks in company with Dr. Swope, who has known of them for many years. [22] Archæological and Ethnological Researches in Southwestern New Mexico, Part 4. (The Archæological Bulletin, vol. 5, No. 2, p. 21.) [23] Mr. Webster describes “ancient pueblos” on the western side of this group of mountains as well as on the eastern slope of Cook’s Range. Certain cave lodges, or walled caves, in a wild canyon on the east side of Cook’s Peak are supposed by him to be the recent work of Apaches. [24] Elaborate metal objects of early historical times have been found at various places in the Mimbres. The best of these is a fragment of an elaborately decorated stirrup, now owned by Mr. Pryor of the Nan Ranch. A copper church bell was found near his house, and other metal objects belonging to the historic epoch are reported from various ruins in the valley. [25] Similar stone idols from the San Pedro Valley and other localities, in Arizona and New Mexico, have mortar-like depressions on their backs. [26] One of the exceptional forms of pottery has a flat rectangular base, the four sides being formed by bending up segments of a circular disk (fig. 18). [27] Called also a “wedding blanket” since it is presented to a girl on marriage by her husband’s family. [28] 17th Ann. Rep. Bur. Amer. Ethnol., pl. 129, fig. _a_.
