The Peabody Museum received last week a box of Pueblo Indian relics from Arizona. Dr. Frank Russell, instructor in Anthropology, spent last summer in Arizona and collected these relics from the ruins of ancient Pueblo villages. He visited the ruins of about seventy large and small villages, some of which once contained over 1000 inhabitants. The villages are on the Moki Indian Reservation on the Colorado River. Dr. Russell's collection will prove to be of especial value, since the Pueblo relics are gradually being destroyed by traders. The Indian Department has recently prohibited any exploration in this region, but it spite of the prohibition these small traders are continually searching in the ruins for pottery, while other objects valuable to archaeologists are thrown aside and lost. Dr. Russell's collection includes pottery, skeletons, and ornaments of beads, shells and turquoise.
