In the isolation of the Southwest the range of interests was small, so that the forces of the people that were not em- ployed in food production went into re- ligious ceremonies, building and ceramic art; all rather closely integrated. The re- sult was such a piling up of architectural monuments as rarely occurred even in the ancient world. As an illustration of this, Lt. Simpson estimated that in the construction of Cheltro Kettle, a ruin in Chaco Canon, now being excavated by the School of Am...erican Research, not less than 30, 000, 000 pieces of stone were quarried, transported, shaped and laid in the walls. We now know that he might have made his estimate 50, - 000, 000, so much more of the town be- ing buried than he supposed, and in a great part of the walls there being an average of 800 pieces to the square yard, instead of the 450 counted by him. N addition to this, the thousands of logs, poles and slabs that had to be cut in distant forests, transported by man power, prepared with stone tools and built into the structures; the tons upon tons of mor- tar that had to be made-altogether it represents an enormous task for the small population of Chettro Kettle.
