New Light on the Beginning of the Pecos Conference
Recently James E. Snead, a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the American Museum of Natural History, encountered in the department archives a letter from A. V. Kidder to Pliny E. Goddard . It is from "correspondence file 546 of the department archives, AMNH (A. V. Kidder)". With the approval of David H. Thomas of the Museum, it is published here
Bandelier
Adolph F. Bandelier (1840-1914) is best known for his work in the Southwestern United States, particularly among the pueblos and prehistoric sites of the Rio Grande area, although he did extensive field and archival research in Mexico and South America as well. Self-taught, like most of his contemporaries, his research included archaeology, ethnology, history, and geography, plus a serious interest in botany, zoology, and meteorology.Bandelier wa…

The Remarkable History of Edgar Lee Hewett's Ph.D. Dissertation
Hewett's career was notable for many things. including effective support of the 1906 Antiquities Act [United States], first director of the School of American Archaeology (later, School of American Research) in Santa Fe in 1907, first director of the Museum of New Mexico in 1909, professor of anthropology at State Teachers College, San Diego, in 1922, head of the new department of archaeology and anthropology at the University of New Mexico in 19…
Teocentli
An elitist anachronism (a semi-private old boys' and girls' network)? Or a unique window on the past (what archaeologists said informally, year by year, about what they were doing and thinking)? Or both? The Teocentli ("The" was later dropped) began in May 1926 when Carl E. Guthe of the University of Michigan, sent a mimeographed letter to 45 friends and colleagues, proposing an informal newsletter or round-robin to provide periodic communicatio…
One Grand Pursuit
The American Philosophical Society (APS) was founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin (then only 37 years old) and is North America's oldest scholarly organization. The archaeological interests of Thomas Jefferson, who became its third president in 1797, are not mentioned in this history but it is worth noting that besides his well known pioneering excavation of a burial mound in 1784 he sent out a circular letter for the APS to secure information on…
Archaeology at the University of Kansas
Histories of archaeology on a national or continental scale can include only the briefest details of individual contributions. By contrast a history focused on a region or state, in this case Kansas, can provide substantial information on the careers and achievements of its people and this make a valuable contribution to archaeological history

Regional Archaeological Conferences
For nearly six decades the small, or originally small, conference on the archaeology of a particular region has been of growing importance in the North American archaeological community's system of communication. By 1952, Erik K. Reed could state that, In addition to national meetings, such as that of the Society [for American Archaeology] . . . regional conferences are continuing to develop and gain in importance.

Looking Back at the Pecos Conference
The Pecos Conference, convened in 1927 by A. V. Kidder at his field camp near the ruins of Pecos Pueblo in New Mexico, eventually became an annual event, meeting in a different location each year. The events of the 1927 meeting are summarized and subsequent conferences looked at briefly

The Hohokam Canals at Pueblo Grande, Arizona
A cross section of the surviving traces of two large prehistoric canals near Pueblo Grande, Phoenix, shows one to have originally been V-shaped in profile, about 6 m. wide and 4 m. deep, and the other U-shaped in profile, about 10 m. wide and 3 m. deep. Both were dug into coarse gravel and the broader (north) canal had been lined with brown clay subsequent to its construction and initial period of use. There is a possibility that the V-shaped Sou…

A series of papers at the 24th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, in Salt Lake City in 1959, was devoted to Developments in Dating Techniques, and dedicated to Nels C. Nelson in recognition of his pioneering role in establishing the technique of stratigraphic excavation in America. During his work in the Galisteo Basin of New Mexico in 1914 he dug a series of ten 1-foot levels, classified all the sherds found in them into sev…

The Types of Evidence for Prehistoric Southwestern Agriculture
Over the past decade many authors have briefly cited or discussed several kinds of evidence for the prehistoric agriculture of the Southwest. Most of this evidence, however, has not received careful scrutiny, nor has it been given major emphasis in any but a few archaeological studies. The importance of agriculture has been more often assumed than demonstrated, and a critical reading of Southwestern archaeological literature reveals that all too …
Nelson's Stratigraphy
The immediate stimulus for N. C. Nelson's stratigraphic technique in the Galisteo Basin, New Mexico, was his participation in 1913 in Obermeier and Breuil's excavations in Castillo Cave, one of the most famous of the Spanish paleolithic sites

Progress at Zaculeu, Guatemala
The excavation and restoration of Zaculeu, now in progress, is a project of the United Fruit Company, under the direction of John M. Dimick. The site of Zaculeu is in the western highlands of Guatemala about 3 kilometers from the town of Huehuetenango. At least one more season's work is planned, but the general outlines of the archaeological picture are already emerging.The most important contribution which the work at Zaculeu will make to the ar…

A Classification of the Prehistoric Field Systems and Associated Remains at Point of Pines
The farm remains which will be described in the next chapter can be classified rather easily into three main types, (1) short walls or lines of stones across stream channels, forming terraces, (2) linear borders, made of long lines of stones arranged in more or less parallel or concentric lines, and (3) grid borders, a term we have chosen for lines of stones arranged as in the linear borders, but with added transverse rows of stones. The characte…
Description of the Farming Sites
Although there are many farming sites in the Point of Pines area, only ten are described here in detail. These ten sites are representative of the variety of topographic situations and types of farms, and provide an adequate sample for studying the prehistoric agricultural practices of the area. Summary data on the ten sites are presented at the end of this chapter (Table 4). About 8 miles west-northwest of the Point of Pines field school and abo…
