Cleaning Indian Skulls Proves
Interesting Work To Five Coeds

NEWS IN BRIEF

Dent Describes
Fugue's History
In First Lecture

By KAY SCHULTZ
Cleaning 'skeletons and wrapping
skulls in cheese cloth were the most
interesting parts of the summer's
work, according to one of the five
co-ed archeologists who spent the
summer vacation on an excavation
site five miles north of Mt. Clemens.
The expedition, consisting of about
a dozen University students, and led
by Dr. E. E. Greenman of the Museum
of Anthropology, searched for skele-
tons, pottery, tools and other remains
for a clue in the interpretation of
Michigan Indian history. The site
excavated is believed to have been1
occupied by three successive Indian
villages previous to the discovery of
America.
The women in the party, the first
to undertake such work for the Uni-
versity, lived at a nearby farm house.
They arose at 5 a.m., donned overalls
and proceeded barefoot to the site.
They worked side by side with the

taking extensive notes on the work.
" 'We' began by digging with a
shovel, continued with a trowel, and
finished by picki ng dead Indians'
teeth with an orange stick," one of
the co-ed members of the party ex-
plained.
The bones of about 300 Indians
were excavated.
According to Dr. Greenman, a re-
port on the summer's work will be
published within the next year. A
