Dor. Sylvanius G. Morley, authority,
on the Maya civilization and director'
of the Carnegie Institute's Chichen
'Itza pro ject, spoke Wednesday after-
noon in the Natural Science .auditor-
iumi on the subject "The 1927 Season
at rta.
Dr. Morley began his lecture with
an~ explanation of the type of country'
found int Yucatan and the difficulties
which it offers to archaeological field
work. According to the speaker, the
district in which the ruined Maya
cities are found is almost entirely cov-
ered 'with a dense tropical growth,f
whic~h offers the most serious ob-
stacles to travel. Dr. Morley empha-i
sized the fact, that the trails are very
dific~ult and that, if they are left un-
used for a few years, they are prac-
tica~lly unrecogniable. It is possible,
according to the speaker, to pass with-
in a, few hundred feet of an entire
buried city and not be aware of its
existence, so denise is the forest.
Waxa~etumDiscussed
Waxatctum was the 'first of the ex-
cavation projec~ts'which Dr. 'Morley
discussed. He~re, according to the,
speaker, was found the earliest Maya
monument known to exist. The tem-
ple at this city is also of especial
interest in that it~ has an astronomical.
significanice in 'connection with the
various phases of the sun.
Speaking of the temple, Dr. Morley
remarked that, like most of the greatl
Maya structur'es, it was built upon
earlier work. In. excavating the al-
tars the archaeologists discovered
numerous bat skeletons, obsidian sac-
rificial knives, and a human skull
which was covered over by a pottery.
basin.
IDi$!esses La 3furtlla
Dr. Morley then briefly discussied'
the work 'being carried' on at La.
Muralla and Itzna, both comparatively
new p'rojects. The feature of La
Muralla, 'Dr. Morley explained, 'is a,
highi wall covered with stucco panels.
The speaker then concluded his lec-
ture with a summary of the year's
progress at Chichen Itza, centuries
ago the metropolis of the Maya cul-
ture. Dr. Morley explained that the
work of excavation and restoration
was proceeding rapidly, due to the,
greater efficiency' of the permanent
field organization which the Carnegie
Institute has established at Chichen
Itza.
Dr. Morley's whole lecture was Il-
lustrated with. numerous colored
lantern slides, showing Maya utensils,
carving, and architecture.
