TELLS OF RESEARCH
WORK ST. LAWRENCE
With the return of Otto Win.
deist, a six year program of arch
eological research on St. Lawren
ce Island, 100 mile® south west o'
Nome, carried out by the Alaska
Agricultural College and School of
Mines, came to an end. Three
years of this period were spent
entirely in the excavation of one
single cut through the mound of
the old village site at Kukulik, St.
Lawrence Island, Alaska Mr. Geist
arrived in onie on the U. S- Rev
enue Cutter Northland this week
and is ou his way to College, Ala
ska, to which place the hulk of
the scientific material is- forward
ed.
The excavation was under the
direction of Dr. Chas. E. Bunnell,
President of the Alaska College,
and was executed by Mr. Geist,
who used Eskimo labor exclusiv
ely. A cut was made into the
mound 200 feet in length, 30 feet
in width and the depth varying
from 15 to 18 feet, at which
depths a core, consisting of silt
and clay was encountered, under
which no more speeifuens were
found.
This excavation was started in
1031, and carried on during the
two succeeding years. Much in
teresting material was encounter
ed. and perhaps the finding »of a
human skeleton at a depth of
about 12 feet, together with de
corated specimens, will he of great
interest to science. This skeleton
evidently . belonged- a person
living during a so-called "Inter
mediate'’ culture known thus far
in ATiska is the “old Bering Sea
culture,“ while several intermed
iate cultures are identified by
their different styles of their de
corations on the weapons and uteM
ails Near and at the very bottom
many wonderful “old Bering Sea”
specimens, deco-rated with beauti
ful curvilinear designs, were en
countered, while the specimens of
the first upper house, which was
of comparatively recent. origin,
bore no signs of decorations what
soever. In other words, the true
artists were the first cotriera; the
art degenerated somewhat with
each successive wave -of new com
ers,~ until He last three or four
periods of inhabitations did not
show any real artistic talent any
longer.
Just who the first-comers were
we do not know, but Mr. Geist un
derstands that l>r. Ales Hrdlickn,
the eminent anthropologist of the
V. 8. National Museum and Smith
sonian Institute, has gone, during
the last few years, very far in
solving this very important prob
lem. For this reason all the hu
man skeletal material encountered
In the entire Alaska College exca
vation is forwarded in sever ll
large cases to this scientist at
Washington, D. C. v
Quite important, also, was the
’finding of several hundreds of dog
skulls, inasmuch as they will re
present some of the first dogs
over brought to Alaska .from Asia
by way of Bering Sea. All the
dog material therefore was for
%
1 r ' i
warded to Dr. O J. Murie, a scien
tist, who will fully describe the i
ancient St. Lawrence Island dogs.
Polar bear skuils encountered
were forwarded to the eminent1
paleontologist of the American
Museum of Natural History: New
York City, Dr. Childs Frick, who
already has discovered among the
material forwarded a possible new
specie which now is extinct.
Other interesting material en
countered, excepting the ethnolog
ical specimens which go to the
museum of the Alaska College,
was forwarded to scientists inter
ested in the study of certain par
ticular specimens.
Upon his arrival at the Alaska
College, Mr. Deist will start to
classify the most important speci
mens and draw up a working,
chart into which all specimens
will fit. Since the cut had been
most carefully measured during •
all stages of the excavation, such
a chart will give the exact strato-j
graphy of the mound.
Altogether there have been laid ,
•hare nine houses, which practical
ly represent that many cultural |
stages. During several periods ’
grass had time to grow to a fully
developed sod, which fact demon
strates that (there were long times
of quiescence during which nobody
occupied the lmound.
Connecting this stratographlc
work with other archeological re
searches carried on in Alaska by
other scientific lttstlliitohs may
prove of great value in working
out the problem of man’s migra
tion front Asia to the American
continent
The Nome Nuggef Wjshes to
thank Mr. Oeist, a former Xomeite
for the review of this recent work
of the Alaska College: which re
view was gratefully obtained by
our interested citizen* Mr. E. II.
H. Hager, Department of the In
terior. U. S. Reindeer Service of
Alaska, who is stationed at Nome.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 9, (A*)—The
polo Grounds will be the scene of
a titxnic straggle, Tuesday when
'he Giants will be hosts io the
American league, their rivals. At
present managements of the two
teams are shaping their attack.
Both Terry and Cronin are confid
ent of winning but Washington
has the hacking of the majority of
the followers. Many are agreeing
with President Harridge that the
American Senators will win be-,
cause they have the best balanced
team
Harridge figures that the ser
ies will go six games. The start
ing pitchers are unannounced but
it is believed that it wlil be Hub
bel for the Giants and Crowder
is favored for the Senators. Botli
Cronin and Terry agree that the
pitching will win the series altho
Croniu feels that he has the edge
in hitting, and saying that he
can’t help but admire the Giant’s
spirit. But ours lias the spirit
that produces the stuff too. Game
is to be called at 10:20 p.s.t.
