Features: Two Summers' Workin Pueblo Ruins by Jesse Walter Fewkes and Mayan Calender Systems by Cyrus Thomas. ...Fewkes surveyed the ruins of a number of cultures in the American Southwest, and wrote many well received articles and books.[citation needed] He supervised the excavation of the Casa Grande ruins in southern Arizona, a Hohokam site, and the Mesa Verde ruins in southern Colorado, an Ancient Pueblo site. He particularly focused on the variants and styles of prehistoric Southwest Indian pottery, producing a number of volumes with carefully drawn illustrations. His work on the Mimbres and Sikyátki pottery styles eventually led to the reproduction of many of these traditional forms and images. The Hopi potter Nampeyo became his friend and reproduced the newly documented traditional designs in her own work. ... In 1858Thomas founded the Illinois Natural History Society. In 1869 he was apponted the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories under Professor Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden. Thomas was also the agricultural statistician and entomologist on the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, whose work supported the creation of Yellowstone National Park in 1872.
