THE PRIVILEGE OF EXCAVATION

This presentation of the antiquities of the

Jemez

plateau is neces- sarily incomplete, since there are

many

sites yet unexplored, but

it is

hoped

that the sketch here given will lend

encouragement

to further exploration

and

serve as a nucleus

around which

additional information

may

be systematically arranged as gathered

from

time to time. It should be borne in

mind

that these ruins are mostly

on

the

Jemez

forest reserve,

and

that excavations

on

the forest reserves are strictly forbidden unless authorized

by

the Secretary of Agriculture.

The

majorityofruins notsituated

on

theforest reserves are

on

the Indian reservations

and

public lands,

and

can bedisturbed only

by

permission of the Secretaryof the Interior.
