A table was prepared by Mr. Senter giving measurements and observations in
detail on all individual burials but funds for publication were not available. Copies,
however, are in possession of the author and on deposit at the University of New
Mexico and the Peabody Museum of Harvard University and may be consulted
by professional workers.
