PUEBLO BONUO
IRESEARCHJHEME
Neil M. Judd to Address An
i thropological Society on
Expedition’s Progress.
Kell M. Judd, curator o£ American
archeology at the United States Na
tional Museum and director of the
National Geographic Society s Pueblo
Benito expedition, will address the
Anthropological Society of Washing
ton at the National Museum Tuesday
evening, January 16, on the progress
which has thup far been made by the
expedition. Although- these new ex
plorations of the National Geographic
Society have been under way for two
years, but little has been made public
regarding the results already ob
tained. Only those immediately asso
ciated with Mr. Judd in his researches
and those who have made the difficult
journey from the railroad to his
desert camp are at all familiar with
the difficulties, the dangers and the
towards of these extensive explora
tions. Even the large collections of
turquoise and shell mosaic, of beauti
ful terracotta vessels, of stone, bone
and wood implements and ornaments
recovered during the excavations
have been withheld from public view
pending their complete examination
in the laboratories of the National
Museum.
Prehistoric Ruin.
Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric ruin in
northwestern New Mexico, has been
called the most wonderful example of
aboriginal architecture north of Mex
ico. It was four stories high and
contained over 800 rooms; its ground
floor area was almost equal to that
of the United Slates Capitol. It was
e whole town in itself, yet. judging by
that with which we are all familiar,
It. can best be described as one of the
first big apartment houses in this
country, for its rooms were divided
Into suites sos the accommodation of
the many families who resided there.
Such a huge building, available for
occupancy in Washington, would do
much to relieve the present acute
bousing problem. So compact was
this ancient village, so carefully
studied was the arrangement of its
numerous rooms, that not only did its
1.500 inhabitants find shelter under its
single roof, but they were provided
also with their own clubrooms for the
men. council chambers for the town
dignitaries and religious sanctuaries
for the priesthood.
Mr. Judd frankly admits that many
problems remain to be solved during
the three years the expedition is to
continue. Perhaps the most impor
tant of these problems has to do with
the age of the great ruin. It had been
abandoned and Its massive walls had
fallen into decay long before the
Spanish conquerors came north from
Mexico to enslave the Pueblo peoples
of the southwest. Pueblo Bonito is
so old, in fact, that no known means
exists for dating it by our own sys
tem of time measurement.
To Determine Age.
Apparently the chief hope of ascer
taining Its age lies in the possibility
of connecting the annual ring growth
of Us ancient timbers with that of the
giant sequoia in California and the
huge pines in the Arizona mountains.
Some of the latter are 500 years old
while the sequoia frequently attain
an age of more than 3.000 years. If
a given series of annual rings can be
found in the latter which agrees with
a similar series in the roof timbers
of Pueblo Bonito, the date of this
famous ruin can be ascertained. Much
progress in this direction has alreadv
been made and It is expected that the
expeditions to he sent out early next
spring will carry the investigations
still further toward solution of this
extremely important question. If the
age of Pueblo Bonito can be de
termined by this unique method it
will be possible, from it. to date
nearly every other prehistoric ruin
In the southwestern United States.
