From the FOREWORD

It had long been the ambition of the writer to excavate the ruins of a pueblo in the Southwest known to have been inhabited from prehistoric times well into the historic period, and none appealed to him so strongly as Hawikuh, one of the ancient settlements of the Zuñi tribe.

The opportunity to excavate Hawikuh was not presented until 1917, when an expedition under the joint auspices of the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution and the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, commenced research at the site.

“During the six years of excavation at Hawikuh, the crew of eastern anthropologists and Zuni workmen cleared some 370 rooms of the accumulated debris of more than three centuries; exhumed more than 1,000 burials; excavated the Spanish mission church and convento; and recovered 1,600 restorable ceramic vessels, plus thousands of other objects, both European and Native American. Among the artifacts recovered were five copper crossbow dart points characteristic of the Coronado expedition, as well as other objects also likely associated with the expedition.”   NewMexicoHistory.org
