Extract

With the publication, in this issue of American Antiquity, of a review of the Hibben-Bryan report on evidence of early occupation in Sandia cave and its correlation with the glacial chronology, there will doubtless come to the minds of many readers the interchanges which have occurred in these pages from time to time since the publication of “A Chronological Problem Presented by Sandia Cave” by Wesley L. Bliss, V. 5, p. 200, this series. The reviewer is not acquainted with the facts and circumstances that gave rise to this controversy, and he and the Editor have deemed it wise that he judge only the published report without knowledge of events which might lead to a biased review. Accordingly, these paragraphs will attempt to explain occurrences that might lead some persons to consider the site as so tainted that its evidence must be taken with a grain of salt.
