Recent Work on Early Man at the Gruta De Cadonga in the Argentine Republic
Numerous finds of human skeletons and artifacts in Argentina, all buried in soft deposits, have led to a large literature and to controversies over the antiquity of man. Investigations of these finds by Hrdlicta and the geologic work of his companion, Bailey Willis, proved: (1) that all the skeletons are those of Homo sapiens; (2) that many occur close to the surface in material subject to recent slumping and wind action; (3) that the stratigraph…
Physical Geography in the Training of the Geographer
Physical Geography in the Training of the Geographer
In a discussion of the r6le of geography in the training of the geographer, it is first necessary to be sure that the statement is understood. What geographer do we discuss? Obviously we might consider the ideal geographer who, perfectly trained by the combined efforts of the best in this generation, will go boldly, unhesitatingly forward to solve the problems that will arise in the next generation. Or we would perhaps be wiser to consider the su…
Sand Dunes and Alluvium near Grants, New Mexico
Progress in knowledge of the more ancient stone cultures in North America has made increasingly apparent the existence of a gap in time between the fairly well-known, modern North American Indian and his Paleo-Indian predecessors. The extent of the break presents a problem to both archaeology and geology. Obviously, it is possible to approach the problem by leading from the earlier horizons toward the later, or in the reverse direction. The expan…
The San José Non-Ceramic Culture and Its Relation to a Puebloan Culture in New Mexico
The archaeology of the Puebloan or Anasazi people of the Southwest has been the subject of many investigations, to the neglect of partly contemporaneous peoples of different cultural background. However, the existence of a non-agricultural people as predecessors and contemporaries of the Puebloans has been postulated on general, theoretical grounds. It comes, therefore, with something of an expected surprise to realize that in the heart of the Pu…

Geology of reservoir and dam sites; Geology of the Owyhee irrigation project, Oregon
All engineering structures constitute a load on the earth's crust.If this crust were everywhere of the same character and strength the design of such structures could be much simplified, but the hetero geneity of the materials of the earth's crust and the complexity of their arrangement are notorious, and these geologic conditions enter into most engineering problems.Certain structures, such as bridge piers, dams, tunnels, and heavy buildings, re…
Flood-Water Farming
HE usually clear distinction between irrigated and unirrigated T farm land breaks down in the consideration of marginal lands irrigated by flood water. In some instances there is complete transition, and fairly well designed irrigation systems are maintained to utilize water during the time of heavy run-off in the spring, although enough water may be available for only one irrigation. There are also areas of meadowland that were originally more o…
Geology of No. 3 reservoir site of the Carlsbad Irrigation Project, New Mexico, with respect to water-tightness
Investigation of the character and structure of the rocks in the vicinity of the :No.3 reservoir site and of the ground-water conditions in these rocks has led inevitably to the conclusion that there is danger of serious leakage from the proposed reservoir.The rocks underlying the reservoir site and adjacent to it consist largely of cavernous limestone and gypsum.At the dam site and in much of the area immediately east and southeast of the reserv…
Persistence of Features in an Arid Landscape: The Navajo Twins, Utah
IN arid regions where sparse vegetation leaves bare every lineament of the scarred face of nature questions of the origin and persistence of the landscape force themselves on our attention. Intricate but boldly carved canyons, cliff and precipice ornamented with pillars and pinnacles delicately poised, waterless stream channels strewn with the litter of floods-all these testify to erosive processes obviously now in action and apparently of almost…
Pedestal rocks in stream channels / by Kirk Bryan.
Isolated masses of rock, especially those of unusual shapes, excite much interest and are commonly regarded with some little awe-a relic, perhaps, of those feelings and impulses which caused the erec- tion of the great stones of the Druid monuments.The fanciful or mythical names that are almost spontaneously applied to such rocks testify to this popular interest, but the origin of these masses has received only scant notice by scientific men.This…

The Papago country, as the term is used in this paper, is a region of about 13,000 square miles in southwestern Arizona.As shown on.Plate IX (in pocket), it is bounded on the north by Gila River, on the east and west by Santa Cruz and Colorado rivers, respectively, and on the south by the boundary between the United States and Mexico.It is a part of the'vast region of northern Sonora and southern Arizona which was known to the early Spanish explo…
