2000 YEAR OLD PYRAMID EXHUMED IN UAXACTUN

"The principal discovery which was made during the season at Uaxactun in the Maya field consisted of an important stucco covered pyramid probably dating from about 72 B. C.," said Dr. Sylvanus Griswald Morley '07, archeologist and Associate of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, to a CRIMSON reporter recently.

"The Maya civilization flourished in Central America before the coming of the Spaniard and their subsequent conquest of the country. It dates from the birth of Christ to the middle of the sixteenth century. The Carnegie Institution of Washington has chosen two fields of research, the first at Uaxactun in northern central Guatemala and the second at Chicen Itza in north-eastern Yucatan, Mexico.

"Another find of the season this one made at Chicen. Itza. consisted of a magnificent turquoise mosaic plaque. The work at Chicen Itza has centered in a group o" 1,000 columns and more particularly at the Temple of Warriors.

Dr. Morley will make his twenty-third visit to Central America this winter. He possesses some remarkable slides of Maya civilization on specially prepared unbreakable glass. He stated that he owed his interest in anthropology to courses in that field he took while an undergraduate in the University.
