Show CURIOS FROM CUFF ' DWELLERS' GRAVES Over two hundred specimens of Indian In-dian pottery, shell beads, stone axes, amulets and baskets have just been received at the University of Utah archeological museum, following a four week trip by Professor Andrew A. Kerr, head of the department of anthropology. This trip extended through a series of canyons in San Juan county near Blanding. Many of the specimens came from cliff dwelling fifteen hundred years old. . Of particular interest among the discoveries were a little bone whistle and a bunch of autumn oak leaves tied together with yucca fibre which were found in an hitherto undiscovered undiscover-ed cliff house and two large red bowls and several other done in characteristic char-acteristic black work which were uncovered un-covered in graves of the cliff dwellers. dwell-ers. The specimens received by the mu- j seum will remain at the University and augument the large collection at present there. This museum is the state archeological museum and is j open to the public daily except Sun- ! day. It is maintained in order to keep the specimens of ancient people that lived in Utah within the state. It is at present one of the best nu:-! nu:-! seums of south-western archeology in existance. I |
