Book Description
Excerpt from Contributions From the Heye Museum, 1913-1915, Vol. 1 The paddle (fig. 1) is fashioned out of a single piece of cedar, and may be described as consisting of a crosspiece, a shaft, and a blade. The paddle is in good condition, and the workmanship as a whole is excellent. It was found on a shelf in the cave and was covered only by a slight deposit of guano dust. The fact that the paddle is of cedar accounts for it not having been attacked by wood-boring insects, and as the cave in which it was found is a dry one, it was not subjected to decay. The crosspiece is 4% inches cm.) long and 1% inch cm.) thick. There is a small knob on the underside of the crosspiece, near each end, evidently designed to afford a better hold. The shaft is 2 feet (61 cm.) long and thickens toward the blade-end, the diameter being inch cm.) at the top and 1% inch cm.) at the point where the shaft broadens into the blade. The blade has a length of 2 feet inch is 6% inches (16 cm.) broad at the widest point, whence it tapers gradually-to a width of 1% inch cm.) at the extremity. The end of the blade is rounded, but whether or not the paddle originally had a sharp point cannot be determined. The blade is V3 inch cm.) thick at the widest point, and V2 inch cm.) at the tip. The shaft merges gradually into the blade, and four simple, angular lines are shown on each side as oma mentation, which also serve to let the thickness of the shaft taper down by even steps to the thickness of the blade. The total length of the paddle is 4 feet 2% inches (129 cm.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"The two reports published here contain elements which contribute substantially to this broader spectrum of Southwestern cultural change. While primarily descriptive in nature, these two site reports, one from the western Kayenta area and one from the margin of the Mesa Verde area and the eastern Kayenta, suggest that the changes which occurred in the more centralized portions of these regions were directly related to what happened on the margins. That, while the site densities and population aggregates may not have been as high, the same factors affected these marginal areas. That conclusion could be expected, but what may not be expected is the differential response which appears to have occurred. After reading these two reports, it appears that it may be possible to discern elements of change in these fringe areas that, once defined, will provide new insight into what happened and why and in what are presently the better known areas of the Southwest. These two papers are important, in sum, not only because they are reports of work in poorly known areas, but because they do provide analyses of fringe areas, they help us to understand the Southwest generally"--From preliminary introduction.
