Secret excavations in Central America by Peabody Museum archeologists which brought forth a fortune in gold were revealed yesterday by H. B. Roberts and Samuel K. Lothrop '15, who have been carrying on explorations in Panama for three years. The archeological finds were made in the burial grounds of an unknown Central American tribe and are largely in the form of personal ornaments. The chieftains of the tribe were buried in giant stone slabs, in which were piled gold trinkets, precious stone, and brilliantly painted pottery. Some of the gold ornaments were valued at 100 to 150 dollars apiece.
