COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May
20 (by Associated Press).—That the
civilization of 'the cliff dwellers of
the Messa Verde and Rio Grande
countries of New Mexico had much
in common is the conclusion of J. A.
Jeancon of this city, who recently
completed a search of the dwellings
of this prehistoric people.
Mr. Jeanson took to the National
Museum at Washington 24 large pack
ing cases of relics to back up his
theories regarding the cliff dwellers
and obtained a commission from the
bureau of ethnology for further re
search work in the Indian mounds.
“We obtained many specimens of
pottery,” Mr. Jeancon said, “some of
which are believed to be the very
oldest specimens from pre-Columbian
peoples in America. They were of
crude, undecorated sandy paste. I
have 69 complete vessels.”
The research work also is be
lieved to Rave shown how the cliff
dwellers constructed their homes, Mr.
Jeancon said. Concerning this he con
tinued :
“It had been supposed that the
material for the adobe structures was
placed in a mold made by placing
boards on either side, but on investi
gation we found this not to be the
case at all. It was evident after
inspection had been made that the
material had been put in place a
handful at a time and for foundation,
boulders were used, set on end.”
Mr. Jeancon declared that some of
the buildings apparently had been
used for many years. Smoke black
ened crevices left their tale. The
buildings also had been plastered on
the inside from 17 to 23 times.
The investigator declared that he
had only begun the work in New
Mexico. He worked a short distance
from the town of Abiqua, 100 miles
north and west of Sante Fe. He
said there are 300 to 400 additional
mounds to be explored and that the
dwellings were found buried two to
six feet underground.
