ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 5
of the greatest importance, forming an ail but lost link
between the cultures of northern and southern California.
After the death of Dona Ascension at the end of January,
1930, Mr. Harrington spent some weeks in checking up on
the information in every way possible, copying from the
archives at San Juan Mission, working at the Bancroft
Library at Berkeley, Calif., and interviewing many individ-
uals, and returned to Washington in April, since which time
he has been engaged in preparing a report on the work for
publication.
Dr. F. H. H. Roberts, jr., archeologist, devoted thé fiscal
year to a number of activities. July, August, and the first
part of September, 1929, were spent conducting excavations
at the Long H Ranch, between St. Johns and Houck, in
eastern Arizona. The work was begun in May and contin-
ued through June of the preceding fiscal year, so that the
investigations extending from July to the middle of Septem-
ber were a continuation of work already under way. At the
completion of the summer's work the remains of three
different types of houses had been uncovered. These
included 18 pit houses, the vestiges of three jacal (pole and
mud) structures, and a pueblo ruin with 49 rooms, and 4
kivas or circular ceremonial rooms.
The pit houses were found to correspond in many respects
with those dug up by Doctor Roberts in the Chaco Canyon,
in northwestern New Mexico, during the summer of 1927 and
described in Bulletin 92 of the Bureau of American Eth-
nology. The jacal houses were found to have been quite
comparable to a similar type found in southern Colorado
during the field season of 1928. The latter were extensively
described in Bulletin 96 of the bureau. The pueblo revealed
an unusually clear-cut story of the growth and changes in a
communal dwelling. The building had not been erected
according to a preconceived plan but had grown by degrees
through the addition of new units. It was quite evident
that such additions had taken place at four different periods
in the occupation of the building.
Doctor Roberts returned to Washington in October.
The autumn months were devoted to reading and correcting
