On the whole, such artistic capacities as this old barbarian possessed were but scantily exercised upon his walls. In his pottery, however, as well as in animal figures and various other objects made of shell, jade, onyx, and turquoise among which are some very handsome mosaics, we find such expression of the artistic sense as gives him a very respect- able standing in the hierarchy of early American art. While whole pieces of pottery are occasionally found in protected places in the abandoned ...rooms, and fragments are scattered in profusion everywhere, the larger part of the well-preserved articles of clay has come from the burial - Prehistoric Pictographs. On the face of the cliffs facing the San Juan River, in Utah. Cliff Dwellings 117 places. So I must linger a moment to speak of these. The rock about the cliff dwellings is usually so scantily clad with soil that earth burial was not accomplished without difficulty. The places outside the dwell- ings most commonly selected for this purpose were low shelves in the cliffs, from which the earth was scooped, and shallow * pits, sometimes stoned at the sides or lined with clay, were thus fash- ioned.
