A SYNTHESIS OF NEW WORLD ARCHÆOLOGICAL FINDS

Abstract

SO many local publications have been appearing lately, some of considerable interest, that it is a relief to turn to a work of synthesis. A recent publication of the American Philosophical Society (Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc., “Recent Advances in American Archæology”, 86, No. 2; February 10, 1943) is extremely interesting in that it attempts to bring up to date, or rather to the end of 1942, the more important archæological discoveries in the New World. There are fourteen articles, and it is to be regretted that space will only allow of one or two of these to be referred to.
