Archeological Expedition to Arizona in 1895: Seventeenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1895-1896, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1898, Pages 519-744
Written by Jesse Walter Fewkes and published in 1898, this scientific report documents an archaeological expedition to Arizona in 1895. It focuses on ancient Pueblo ruins, particularly cliff houses, and explores mortuary pottery and artifacts to uncover insights about the prehistoric inhabitants of the region. Fewkes details his preparations, findings, and the challenges of understanding ancient Pueblo life, aiming to connect these cultures with the traditions of contemporary Hopi Indians. This work is significant for its systematic survey of Arizona's archaeological features and its contribution to the study of Native American history.
