Description:Excerpt from Archeological Investigations at Paragonah, Utah: With Fifteen Plates Early in the course of the excavations it became evident that in the big mound, as in other similar elevations, ruins of two distinct types were to be found. These naturally increased in numbers as the work progressed, but the obvious relationship between the two types did not differ materially from that established during former operations. The chief task of the 1917 expedition, therefore, soon resolved itself into an effort to locate all of the more permanent houses and to discover in the lesser structures invariably associated with them any variation from their customary form. The outstand ing features of each type are given below, with additional notes on certain individual ruins. In general, every prehistoric community attracts the student both through its architecture and its lesser antiquities, for the house remains, perhaps more completely than the artifacts found within or near them, furnish a true index to the cultural attainments of their builders. And it is the degree of social and material advancement, as evidenced by such remains and by such artifacts, that enables the anthropologist to assign to any given people its approximate place on the ladder of intellectual progress. In considering the results of excavations in the big mound at Paragonah, therefore, attention will first be directed to the structures occupied by the aborigines and then to the minor objects discovered in connection with those structures.
