Abstract
IN the past ten years the United States have made remarkable advances in archological research in both the New World and the Old. In America itself the whole range of continental civilisation in one form or another from Alaska to Peru has been brought under investigation by university departments and public or semi-public institutions. In particular, the activities of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in Central America and of the Smithsonian Institution in the south-western United States have contributed materially to the advancement of archological science through the intensive studies by means of which they are gradually filling in details of the chronological sequence in the development of culture in these areas.
