ANCIENT DWELLINGS
UNEARTHED IN UTAH
SALT LAKE CITY,—Discovery of
an Indian mound containing a reli
gious dance house and men’s club
rooips, the first of its kind located in
Utah, were reported by Dr. Julian
Steward, head of the archaeological
department of the University of
‘Utah. ,
Dr. Steward said discovery of a
large number of gambling sticks indi
cated the Indians were adept at the
’game apd used part ,of the dwelling
for the .pastime, which is believed to
have been popular among the Indians
who roamed Utah and Northern Ari
zona 1500 years ago. Steward said
the builders were probably ancestors
of the cliff dwellers of the Southwest.
