EDrrOR r SNarES In case any of you are wondering why this issue is so late - all of our dire predictions came to pass - we simply had nothing to printl After scraping vigorously in the bottom of the barrel enough material was finally gathered to print one so-so edition. Please' we implore youl Take enough interest in your organization to contribute material for publication' If each member would furnish one item every 5 years, we would be swamped with material. Think it over - the editorial staff oan ~o only so much - from there on, the newsletter becomes what you make it. Will you "be satisfied with mediocrity? Think BIGl! Mel Aikens dropped a line to let us know he is spending the summer digging at a cave site in the Hogup Mountains. For you flat land furriners - the Hogups are located west of the Great Salt Lake and north of the S.P. righto-way in western Box Elder County. Mel has great expectations for the site, thinks it will compare in age at the lower levels with Danger Cave (circa 9000 B.C.) At the risk of sounding like an Aikens Fan Club president - I would like to advise that University of Utah Anthropological Paper #82, Fremont-PromontoryPlains Relationships, contains Mel's synthesis of a hypothesis explainging the puzzling similarities with both plains and puebloan cultures that are found in Northern Utah. You old timers who sweated and swatted mosquitoes at the Bear River Number One site will be interested in the excavation report included in the paper. List price is $4.00 from the U. of U. press. Also, the old hands will be interested to know that Ye Olde Editor, Lloyd Pierson has returned to the west. He is now located at 1541 So. Estes, Denver, Colorado, 80226 if anyone wishes to renew old acquaintances. The cover illustration represents a petroglyph from Stansbur,y Island near the southern end of 3reat Salt Lake. No scale is given. It is pictured in plate 28a, Archeological Notes on Stansbury Island, by Sydney J. S. Jameson (U. of U. Anthropological Paper Number 34). The first items on the bill-of-fare this month were contributed by George Tripp, the President of the Society. Included are a report on the annual meeting, a description of the display sponsored by the USAS in the State (1 )


Capitol Building, and a Drief ·artiole concerning a possible headdress made from the skull of a mountain (or desert?) sheep. This .1ast item is most intrigui~gl I wonder if the strips removed from the horns wound up in one of the complex horn bows fabricated by the Indians in this area? The following selection is a modest discourse on a rather Unusual SevierFremont pot fragment found by your editor. As Lloyd Pierson used to say, one of the few rewards for acting as editor is that it's easy to get your own compositions published. Norma Dalton has next composed an item for the "sherds" section listing two interesting points found in the vicinity of Hite, Utah. Norma is also responsible for all the leg work involved in compiling the index to past newsletters which comprises the bulk of this issue. , Although many may think this is dry reading, anyone who wants to refer to some half remembered item a few issues or years ago will really appreciate this index •• It's something that has been needed and, Norma deserves Qllr thanks. The last item is a report on the activities of the Utah County Chapter during the past few months by Gloria Barnett, chapter secretary. This is ~ last issue as editor. A am resigning to make way for someone who has more time to devote toth~ task . or rounding up material and producing a top-notch publication. Interested applicants please contact C~orge Tripp. I wish to thank~he many people who have assisted in publishing this newsletter over the past year.

-----ANNUAL HEETING REPORT The best meeting yeti That's what mora than one member of the Utah , Statewide Archeological Society volunteered when asked what he thought of our Annual U.S.A.S. meeting held April 22 at the · University of Utah. The Annual meeting got underway about 10: 30 AN with reports from the various officers. Fran ~asse1, editor of the U.S.A.S. Newsletter, almost brought tears to our eyes as he pleaded for more material for tho Newsletter. There is hardly a member of this society who couldn't easily prepare an interesting article for publication in our Newsietter about unusual artifacts he has found, interesting field trips he has been on, etc. Hany significant archeological finds remain unknown because the finder failed to make and publish a record of his discovery. Lets all get behind this and send in a few tidbits for the Newsletter, how ·about it?

Mr. Don Hague, curator of the, soon to be born, Utah

~fuseum of Natural . History, reported on the progress made this far towards bringing this uru SElum into . existance. If all goes well, the new museum will be housed in the present library building at the Universlty of Utah by late 1968.

During the noon break. Don Hague led us on a guided tour of his museum workshop


and explained how the displays for the new museum are put together. Don presented a plaster cast of Fremont Figurines found by University field parties to everyone present. One of the meeting's highlights was Doctor Jesse D. Jennings classic paper on the U.S.A.S., its goals and accomplishments, dusted off and presented for the umphteenth time.' It seemed like old times for sure to have our Founding Father back with us again after having missed a meeting or two lately. (Guess he figured it was the least he could do for us, considering the fact that it is being rumored around the University that he plans to spond the coming winter on the beach at Waikiki, Hawaii). Dell Adams, prominent Layton, Utah rancher noted for his portrayal of Jim Bridger in the 24th of July Parades in Salt Lake, brought some of his relics to show us. Dell had a story to spin about each item he brought. You should have seen the, old pot hunters on the first row jump when Dell's trick pistol went offt You would have thought the B.L.M. had caught them red handed. Norma Dalton, our Secretary-Treasurer, proved that being the Mother of a sizeable family is not a serious obstacle to getting out in the field once in a while. Norma's report on some of the Fremont Indian sites she has discovered in Nine Mile Canyon has to rate as one of the best member delivered talks ever given at our Annual meetings. Listed among the missing and presumed lost were some of our most faithful members. "le wondered if perhaps they dug holes too deep to climb out of. "Je figured some of them would have to be dead before they would miss our Annual get together. Since the post office hasn't returned their copies of the Newsletter, we've concluded they must still be alive, although we haven't seen hide nor hair of them since the meeting. Guess they feel kind of sheepish about letting all of their old buddies down by missing the meeting what with all of us 'busting a gut' with waiting to hear them tell of their latest find. Sure hope they treat us better next year. Sam. Spade "The Dirty Digger" (Alias G. Tripp)

U.S.A.S. CAPITOL DISPLAY INSTALLED By George Tripp Have you visited the Utah State Capitol Building since it has been refurbished? If you have, did you see our display? We think it's the best one there, although a few observers while not daring to open~ disagree with us, have, as diplomatically as possible, pointed out that our opinion might be slightly prejudiced. Be that as it may. the fact remains, that members of the Utah Statewide Archeological Society can take pride in the outstanding contribution our display makes to the decor of the State Capitol Building.


Vkl wish to acknowledge the helpful suggestions and full support of Dr. Jesse D. Jennings, of t he University of Utah Dept. of Anthropology, Don Hague and Gail Hammond of the Utah Museum of Natural History; and Floyd MeIlllllott, Prosident of the Salt Lake-Davis County Chapter of the U.S.A.S. without which thG succe ssiul completion of our display could not have been accomplished. The display is set up in a vertical case; which is located in the east wing of tho main floor of t he Utah State Capitol Building to tho right of the Ut ah Hi storical Society display. By erecting a vertical panel ive were able to, in e ssence , make each s i de of the case a separate display - sort of a "two for the pri ce of one deal". One face of the display welcome s our visitors and presonts an encapsulated Archeological History of Utah , with a few carefully selected artifacts to represent each archeo ~ogic al period. The r everse ~ ac e , which is de signed to f acilitate changing the display, f eature s Danger Cave , Utah's oldest known habitation site, ! 12,000 years. At the Danger Cave s i t e earl y Utahns wero forced to use every bit of ingenuity t hey posse ssed in order to survive . Every knbWn edible resource was utilized, 240 diffe~ent pl ant and animal r esource s were eaton. This is in markod contrast with tho .P lains Indi ans who depended primarily on one animal, the American Bison, to furnish him with his food, clothing and shelter • .

A MOUNTAIN SHEEP SKULL EXHIBITING UNUSUAL MODIFICATIONS By George Tripp Throughout Utah, wherover pictographic or petroglyphic panels have been found, the Bi g Horn Sheep i s almost always r epresented. (Fig. 1) Many petroglyphic and pictographic panels also bear anthromorphic f igure s wearing horn- like headdre sse s. (Fig II) l,lliy so many figures wer e adorned with horned head wear by the artist who created them is unknown. However the fact that such figures are so commonly found would seem to indicate that horned headdresses were often worn by early Utah Indians. Perhaps the horns were part of the paraphenalia worn by Shamans in certain ceremonial functions to bring good luck to hunters, etc. The fact that many horned figures bear weapons could indicate that the "horned ones" were warriors or hunters or perhaps, like modern Utahns, these people may have been viotims of a fickle dame fashion whose decree was that arvone who was anyone wouldn!t be seen outdoors ¡ without a horned hat. We may never learn the answers to the riddle of the horned figures. A recent discovery by Mr. "Jilliam "Bill" Mobely of Green River, Utah, of what appears to be a headdress made from the top of a Mountain Sheep skull with the horns attached (Fig. III) has attracted considerable interest among all students of Utah Indians. In an effort to lighten what could have been a rather uncomfortable piece of apparel, the maker of this "headdress" cut a 2" wide strip from the rear of (4)


each horn extending from near the base of the horn to the tip (see rear view Fig. III). Clearly discernable knife or scraper marks are evident along the skulJ!s lower margin below the right horn. It isn't known if part of tho sheep's skin or other covering was attached to the skull, at least there is no evidence of a means of fastening any such covering. All who have seen "Billls" headdress agree that it is one of the most unusual indian artifacts found in Utah.

A HANDLED eLLA FROM THE INJUN CREEK SITE ,(42 Wb 14)

By F. K. Hassel The intent of this article is to describe a somewhat unusual vessel fragment from the Sevier-Fremont site known as "Injun Creek", on the eastern margin of Great Salt Lake. The site itself is fully described in a :preliminary excavation report that appeared in this Newsletter (Aikens, 1965), and in even more detail in the final report (Aikens, 1966). As mentioned by Aikens in both reports, the entire site surface was disturbed by shallow discing or drilling in an attempt to raise grain in the aroa. This disturbance apparently occurred in the fall of 1963. The only visible result was that the existing ground cover was destroyed and countless sherds, bo~e and stone fragments, etc. were turned up. (No grain ever grew, I might addt) In February 1964, while making the rounds collecting from the surface, I observed a cluster of sherds on the southeast edge of one of the central mounds, (Aiken's mound #12). All'to1ero gathered up and segregated. When washed and assembled, the 19 sherds formed about 30% of a completo vessel (Fig . 1). Based on Rudy's descriptions, (Rudy, 19.53), the t exture, color, temper and shape coruorm to the ceramic type of Sevier gray ware. The original olla or pitcher was approximately 10t" in diameter at the shoulder and about 10" high overall. The neck is 2" high with an estimated diameter of The lip of the vessel was not flared or thickened to any noticeable degree. The neck location is obviously not concentric with the body.

2t".

'fuilo reconstructable handled vessels are, in themselves, raro in this northern area, the really unusual feature is the addition of large appliqued lugs or bosses around the shoulder; two of which are present on the reconstructed segmont. Tho lugs are carefully filleted to blend with the vessel wall. The largost of the two lugs is 2 1/8 11 long and protrudes approximately t"; the smaller measures about 1 3/4" x 5/8". Both lugs are decorated on the upper surface with radial grooves incised while the clay was still soft. The larger lug has 13 groovos; the smaller 10. Tho two lugs lie approximately 70 0 apart leading to the conclusion that the complDte vessel had 5 lugs, i f equally spaced. I can find no mention of lugs in descriptions of ceramics from this immediate area, but there are passing references to lugs "punched out" from tho interior and II smal l" appliquQd lugs from aroas further south and southeast (Gul'.nerson 1956, 1957), Pendergast (1960) and Taylor (19.54). None of the described fo:nus. however, resemble the vessel under discussion. Therefore, this particular olla or pitcher represents a.n in+..D~'0st1n~. if not rare, varlntion of Sevier gray ware.

lhe summer vacation time is an ideal time for families to spend a few days out looking at ancient Indian sites. If one is lucky, he may find a point or fra~ent of pottery. It could lead to a valuable find if it was reported in this publication or to the Department of Anthropology at the University of Utah where it could be brought to the attention of a professional aroheologist. There are parts of the State that have very little information on record of the traces of the ancients that lived in those areas. The two peints described here were found in the area of Hite, Utah. (10)

Hite is


a crossing over the northern most spurs of Lake Powell in southeastern Utah. A broad new highway 1s being constructed from Hanksville ~o Blanding through this gorgeous desert country. There are three unique bridges ' spanning deep canyons to make the highway possible. These bridges were dedicated by Governor Raropton last year. The Hansen family was traveling to view this dedication when an unJucky :Clat, t..i.re turned out to be a 'lucky' find for one ' of the HR" ""'" bOYS, Larry. While the' tire was being changed, the kids scattered to get acquainted with the 'terrain. 'Larry picked up this half buried point from the soft sand close by the road about a mile passed Hite. The second point illustrated here was found by Mrs. Lucille Rich in the same area'. Mrs. Rich's husband was working on the construotion of the highway mentioned. She found the point While hiking one of the ridges near their trailor camp.

Larry's point is beaut_ifuJly shaped from brownish'grey chert. The dotted area is one of the two pink colored formations in the rock. The one-sided 'notch has been very definitely and carefully shaped into the point • . Mrs. Rich's point (it might have been a sort of drill) is crudely shaped from black obsidian. It is rather thick, especially in the middle section where it begins to taper to a point.

About the Index to the Newsletter By Norma Dalton During the development of the Statewide A~heological Survey of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Utah"the field personnel met many people who were interested in the archeology of Utah • . Usually 'ttlOse people were contacted to assist in locating ancient sites throughout the state. In March 1955. a letter was sent to dozens of Utah residents by James H. Gunnerson, Field Director., This letter was titled UTAH: ARCHEOLOGY, A Newsletter. The subject was titled "Do you want a Utah Archeological Society?tI Mr. Gunnerson' s letter must have been well received because it became known as No. 1 of Vol. 1 of the "UTAH ARCHEOLOGY". The publication has been printed quarterly since that time. There are few of the original memberhsip still in contact with the Society. It would be interesting to know who these folks are and i f they have kept all the issues of the Newsletter through these past twelve yoars. ' (11 )


The back issues have been sou~ht after for the valuable informative articles that have been printed. As seoretar,y to the Sooiety, I have reoeived ma~ letters requesting back issues. T~ do not h3ve a oomplete file of back issues, but we do have many copies of some issues. we have decided it might be a service to let be known those issues we do still have. There are some articles that were outstanding and many would use them for reference materi.l.if they could find them. This index has been planned to cover these two needs. First, these are the available back issues for sale. Second, the index gives the author and title of the lead articles in each issue in the order they appear in the issue. In the event that an article or issue was requested by many of the membership and was not available, we would be happy to reprint it in a futUre issue. Subscription cost to "UTAH ARCHEOLOGY" is $2.00 yearly or is included with the membership dues of $2.00 per year to the Utah State Archeological Society. The back issues available for volumes 1 through 5 may be purchased for 25¢ per issue. The back issues of volume 6 on may be purchased for 50¢ per issue. Correspondence, manuscripts and news items should be directed to the President, George Tripp, 98 '..J. 20th St. Bountiful, Utah. Memberships, sub scriptions and back issues are available from the Secretary-Treasurer, Norma Dalton, 829 N. 100 W., Sunset, Clearfield, Utah. A 1~RD OF WARNINGl'l The Newsletter will not be forwarded by the post office. Please let us know if you move or have a change in address. Tk print a limited number of issues to kee p down production costs, and we cannot always supply back issues to those who ar e negligent in reporting a change of address.

NE.-lS:

Our Jan. meeting was held at the Krebbs. Our Jan. meeting has always been a Pot luck supper which we all enj~. There were 22 present. Slides of desert lands were later shown by the Krebbs and Pres. Dale. The Feb. meeting was held at the Grant School in Springvillo. This was mostly just a business meeting in which the construction of five tripods for the club to display their articles were constructed. We then went out to reporter Marilyn's home and ceJebrated with cake and punch the birthday of V. Pres. laMar's wife Marge. The col).A-Ct,ion of Marilyn ami Shirl were shown


with muoh interest to the guests. Jim Mock was the program chairman and speaker for the 1-'Iarch meeting. He showed slide s of the Central Plains Indian in }lissouri and North and South Dakota. The p18_ce ~¡!here the cxc.ava.tors from the Smithsunian rnst. were staying was an old hotel left just as it had been many years before with no one entering it to take anything. This was puzzeling but very nice for the men. After the excava~ing it was learned that everyone at that hotel had !~, rd.c;hed with Small pox and no one wanted or dared to enter. The slides wero very Anjoyable and worth seeing again. (Jim has now moved to Colorado) The Grant School again was the meeting place of the club in April. The Order of the -I.rrow Dancers from Orem lorere the program under the direction of member Alma Banks. There were 17 dancers in beautiful Indian costume. After a short history of Indian dance and customs, the dancers performed the following danges: Hope Corn dance, Crow Hop, Horse Tail, War dance, Hunting dance, a Hoop dance with 25 hoops, Scalp dance, Eagle dance, Tomahawk dance, the Show off dance and the Squaw dance with the women and children in the club taking part. It was thrilling to say the least. At all our meetings, anything that is found from one meeting to an other by the members is brought and displayed at the following meeting. May meeting was held at the Grant school with George Tripp as t he speaker. He showed us the art of making pottery and arrow heads. This was very interesting to all. A big thanks to George for an enjoyable evening. June will be a canyon party in Springville canyon June 22 (weather permitting). Correspondent:
