A BRAVE SMILE was flashed by Carol Gervais after she
was finally coaxed to pose with this exhumed skull of a
local Indian who was buried some 500 years ago. She is a
secretary at the Klamath County museum where the skull
is on display pending further study of its age and other fac
tors of interest to Ben Swarti, curatdr.
New Relics
On Display
At Museum
Some Indian relics, of the late
Tulelake Era now on display at
the Klamath County Museum are
iin indication that natives of the
Basin developed their culture sig
nificantly in the few hundred years
just before Western civilization
struck.
The new display features items
dug exclusively from a site that
once was an island on the drained
portion, of Lower Klamath Lake.
The area had been excavated,
mostly by amateurs, many times
before a county museum team
headed by Foy L. Carlson, former
curator, did it scientifically in
1957.
The diggers came up with an
assortment of exquisitely chiseled
"projectile points" (arrow heads),
beads, bone awls, knives and stone
pipes for smoking.!
They also resurrected a skull.
Ben Swartz, who succeeded Carl
con in the museum, estimates the
remains are about 500 years old
Later tests may pinpoint their age
While the recovered artifacts all
Indicate they were manufactured
during the Tulelake period, the two
burials excavated do not. Latter
day Indians customarily cremated
their dead.
I The Tulelake period was so
termed years ago by liobert J.
Squire who then was a graduate
archeology student at the Univer
sity of California and who has
" since become a professor of arche
ology at the University of Kansas
The era is distinguished chiefly
' by its arrow heads and fiber uten
sils. Projectiles were chipped from
obsidian black volcanic glass
Previously, they were made from
chirt, a more opaque and coarse
rock of many colors. Newer mod
els were smaller, sharper, more
delicate.
They look as artistic as deadly.
Some displayed are of the "Des
ert Side Notch" type. They are
wasp-waisted and winged daintily
at the base.
Early baskelry was formed by
tightly stitching a continuous coil
of fiber together. Later work a
Basket, lor instance began as an
explosion of fibers radiating from
common center. Weavers then
bound them tightly together with
fibers sewn : laterally. A good
specimen was water tight.
Swartz believes the burials took
place about the time the Modoc
Tribe split from the Klamath
Tribe.
He knows the tribes once were
common because they spoke
common, but dialectic, language.
Swartz says he may undertake
some deeper Tesearcn later and
publish his results in one of the
museum periodicals.

County Court Approves Gravel Buys
The county court authorized Fri
day purchase of county gravel for
emergency repairs of public roads.
Under terms of a formal resolu
tion, "interested persons" may pur
chase the gravel at cost. It is for
use on public roads roads that
under Oregon law are built and
maintained by property owners.
The resolution noted that a "con
tinuous stretch of unseasonably
bad weather . . . had created con
ditions on most public roads that
have almost stopped their usage."
Such roads hindered residents
from reaching work, and caused
the post office to cancel some de
liveries. Therefore, the resolution read,
the "Klamath Counly Road De
partment was ordered to furnish
interested residents the necessary
gravel at the county's cost to put
their roads in a passable condi
tion, providing the residents will
take care of hauling said gravel."
The gravel is to be available at
the Merrill pit, and is to be loaded
at the convenience of the pit crew
The term "at the county's cost"
means gravel will be sold for the
amount it costs the county to pro
duce or about 75 cents a yard.
The court said the resolution was
intended for repair of public
roads, not repair of private drive
ways or private roads.
Numerous requests were made
of the court for gravel to repair
mud-entrenched public roads. The
court learned from a district at
torney's opinion that it could not
give the gravel away as had
been done several years ago
but could under law sell gravel at
cost for emergency road repair.
Last week the court reached an
agreement with the South Subur
ban Sanitary District to haul grav
el and repair public roads chewed
up by sewer construction. That
work is to be paid for by the district.
