PEABODY MUSEUM

OF

AMERICAN ARCHAOLOGY. AND ETHNOLOGY

e

. Turoven the munificence of Mr. GzorGE PEAaBopy, of London,
a Museum of American Archeology and Ethnology has been estab-
lished in connection with Harvard College. In carrying out the
wishes of the Founder it is intended to bring together all objects
illustrative of or bearing upon the origin, early history, manners and”
customs and progress towards civilization of the aboriginal races of
North and South America. In furthering the objects of the above
foundation, the undersigned, the Executive Committee in behalf of
the Board of Trustees are desirous of obtaining any of the follow-
ing articles: —

1. Implements of stone, such as axes, gouges, chisels, clubs, pes-
tles, sinkers, tomahawks, mortars, arrow-heads, spear-heads, &c.

2. Articles of earthen-ware, such as vases, pots, pipes, bowls, or
images of any kind.

3. Bows, arrows, quivers,. spears, rattfes, drums; shields, snow-
shoes, knives, lodges, medicine bags, tobacco pouches, cooking utensils,
articles of dress, either of purely aboriginal make, or such as show

the gradual contact of the savage and European races.

4. Mummies, skeletons or parts of skeletons of any of the North
or South American races. Of the parts of skeletons, the skulls are
always of great importance, and the long bones of the limbs, and

the hip bones are of much value.

5. Antiquities in the form of images or other sculptures, or the

casts of them, from Peru, Mexico, Chili, or Central America.

6. Any articles made by or relating to the Esquimaux, and the
Fuegians or the Patagonians.

It is within the plan of the founder to make collections relating
to the Archeology and Ethnology of other aboriginal races, espe-
cially of such articles as have a bearing upon or help to illustrate
the history of the American races. The trustees are therefore de-
sirous of obtaining crania, skeletons or parts of skeletons, weapons
and implements of all kinds, pottery, or any other articles of abo-
riginal make, from any portion of the world, also drawings or casts
of them which may serve- to show the differences or resemblances

between the various human races in their earliest stages of exist-

ence.
