ARCHEOLOGICAL investigations in North America may for convenience be divided into two classes-those, on the one hand, which are concerned mainly with the question of the existence of early man in the continent, and, on the other, those which relate to later prehistoric peoples, to the immediate predecessors of the historic Indians. With the former class I do not propose to deal here, but wish rather to confine my attention to certain aspects of the latter which have a more or less direct bearing on American ethnology and ethnography. A very considerable mass of archeological material and information of this type has been accumulated in the last half-century. It seems therefore not inappropriate to consider a few of the broader and more general results of this work, the character of some of the problems which it presents, and some of the lessons which we may draw from what has already been done that will help us to more efficient and productive work in the future
