MINOR ANTIQUITIES

The artifacts picked up on the surface near ruins or excavated from

village sites resemble so closely those from other regions of the

Southwest that taken alone these do not necessarily indicate special

culture areas. A few of the more common forms from the Mimbres are

here figured for comparison, but, with the exception of the pottery,

there is little individuality shown in the majority of these objects.

Among other objects may be mentioned stone implements, mortars, idols,

bone implements, shell ornaments, and pottery.
