Doctor Roberts left Washington May 14, 1931, for Denver, Colo., for
the purpose of inspecting and studying the specimens obtained by the
Smithsonian Institution-University of Denver Cooperative Expedition in
the summer of 1930 and also for the purpose of examining collections
in the Colorado State Museum. He left Denver on May 25 for Santa
Fe, N. Mex. At the latter place two days were spent in studying the
collections at the Laboratory of Anthropology and at the Museum of New
Mexico. From Santa Fe he proceeded to Gallup, N. Mex., where supplies
were obtained for a field camp. From Gallup this material was taken to
a site 3½ miles south of Allan town, Ariz., where a camp was established
and excavations started on the remains of a large pit-house village.
One refuse mound containing 12 burials with accompanying mortuary
offerings and two pit houses had been investigated at the close of the
fiscal year.
The pit houses were found to be characteristic of that type and quite
comparable to those excavated in the Chaco Canyon in 1927, reported in
Bulletin 92 of the Bureau of American Ethnology, and to those excavated
in eastern Arizona in the summer of 1929, described in Bulletin 100 of
the bureau.
From July 1, 1930, to May 10, 1931, J. N. B. Hewitt, ethnologist, was
engaged in routine office work, and from the latter date to the end of
the fiscal year he was engaged in field service on the Grant of the Six
Nations on the Grand River in Ontario, Canada, and, briefly, on the
Tuscarora reservation in western New York State.
Mr. Hewitt devoted much time and study to rearranging and retyping some
of his native Iroquoian texts which critical revisions and additional
data had made necessary to facilitate interlinear translations and to
render such texts as legible as possible for the printer.
