Overview

Excerpt from The Archaeology of the Delaware Valley, Vol. 5 The following year until July was spent in exploring the Valley above Trenton, and in examining caves and rock-shelters then I was one of a party sent to explore the earthworks in the Little Miami Valley, Ohio; I returned in the fall to continue my work along the Delaware. In the spring of 1891, a special arrangement was made to explore for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where, in 1893 the results of the two years' work were exhibited and are now in the Field Museum of Natural History. The Peabody Museum then continued the work until 1895. In 1895 the Duke of Loubat generously contributed funds to continue the work for two years for the American Museum of Natural History, New York; after this until 1903 the necessary means were supplied through the generosity of Dr. F. E. Hyde for the same Museum. The collections made during these years are in the American Museum of Natural History. Since 1903 the work has been continued for the Peabody Museum. The result of the systematic explorations of the past twenty two years has to my mind settled the question of the antiquity of man in the Delaware Valley. While this is intended to be a purely archaeological report, the special significance of the geological conditions in connection with the archaeological has made necessary a close study of the deposits, and a description of them as they appeared during the progress of the work will begin the volume.
