Context (Field collection)
Double burial. 1924.96 A was found touching the skull of an adult. Just to the right was a fragmentary skull of a child, which had on its right the sherd, 1924.96 B. On the child's breast was 1924.96 C. Also found were 1924.96 D & E. Excavated by Louis C.G. Clarke, in July 1923, during the Louis C.G. Clarke Kechipauan Expedition (19 June – 1 September 1923). The precise location of this site is unknown. On the catalogue card for 1923.87, Clarke describes it as ‘the old Black & White site a little way from the old Pueblo of Hawikuh’. The site is also mentioned in passing in the Kechib:wa excavation diary (archive FR5/1/2) as ‘N.W. of camp’, which refers to the camp of the Hendricks-Hodge expedition at Hawikuh (see reference in the agreement between Louis Clarke and the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, archive FR5/1/9).
