It may also be that some specimens of trephining have been taken by the peons and brought to the local collectors ; but numerous cemeteries were examined to which this could not apply. From an archeological point of view the exploration brought out with special force the fact that the scientific value of such Peruvian collections of pottery and other antiquities as have been or are being made by the untrained local collectors, is very small. It was seen throughout that the peons gather indiscri...minately what is salable and dispose of it now to this buyer and now to another according to the amount offered. These buyers make the collections for profit and though some of them are of fair and even professional education, they possess and care for no real archeological knowledge, and generally do not attempt in the least any type or even locality identification. In consequence, every large collection that has been sold from Peru by such collectors, represents a heterogeneous mass of articles proceeding from different epochs and even different peoples, and what it can amount to scientifically, under such cir- cumstances, can easily be imagined.
