TELLS OF PREHISTORIC VIL
LAGES}. MUMMIES* UNCOVERED
BY EXPEDITION. LAST SUMMER
NEW HAVEN,. Conn.—Edward
Moffat Weyer, anthropologist for the
Stoll-McGfacken expedition which ex
plored the Arctic last summer on the
schooner Morrison,, described the dis
covery in Alaska1 of’buried prehistoric
villages which yielded hundreds of
relics new to Science
Talking before the. Yale Anthropol
ogy Chib, he described Alaska, as the
probable gateway through which
passed early Asiatio.immigrants and
where the first scene in human history
n America took-place.
For a month Weyer-and two com
panions were-encamped on the site of
an ancient village on the Alaska pe
ninsula. During eldven days of this
period, with provisions for only four
days, the group were isolated by a
storm and were forced to dig dams
from mud fiats.
On the almost inaccessible summit
f a precipitous island in the1, Aleu
lon chain the ’expedition discovered
grave containing mummies of un
nown age. By raason of careful pre
paration the bodies were in a remark
able stage of preservation. The grave
afforded the first comprehensive in
formation concerning this type of
burial in the Aleutians before the in
troduction of higher .civilization.
Later, for six weeks, Weyer inves
tigated the region of Bering Strait.
Part of this time was passed on Dio
mede . island, where dwell the most
primitive Eskimos of the Arctic, tak
ng moving pictures.
Weyer told his audience: “The
American continent is younger with
regard to human occupationthan the
Eastern Hemisphere. The very first
immigrants, forerunners of American
Indians, doubtless came from Asia.
Thus Alaska, which lies much closer
to Asia than any othher part of Amer
ica, probably was the. gateway
through which passed :h>' > ' arly im
migrants. The northwestern corner
of North America therefore can be re
garded as the* first scene, of. human
history in America.”
