KU Gets Archaeology Remains
Twenty human skeletons, bones of fish and birds, and specimens of shellfish and artifacts are included in the 730-pound shipment from the South Pacific received this week at the Museum of Natural History.
The specimens making up this shipment were collected by Dr. Carlyle S. Smith, associate professor of anthropology and assistant curator of anthropology at the museum, during a ten-month expedition led by Thor Heyerdahl, Norwegian explorer and author of "Kon-Tlik."
The expedition wanted to determine what archaeology exists on Easter Island and other islands of the South Pacific.
The Christian Bieland, a 150-foot modified fishing vessel resembling a freighter, carried the 26 members of the expedition 13,000 miles to Easter Island, Pitcairn, Henderson, Mangareva, Rapa, Tubuiai, Raivavae, Tahiti, Raiatea, Nukuhiva, Hiva Oa and Cocos Islands.
Dr. Smith will measure and compare racial characteristics shown by the Easter Island skeletons with those of other bones from the South Pacific. The tools and artifacts, made of volcanic glass, bone and shell, and the bones found with them will

be identified and an attempt will be made to determine what changes in types of tools are indicated from their vertical distribution at the sites.
mains, with at least 1,000 large stone statues and 300 large stone masonry structures. They spent five months excavating the island, which is shaped like a 14-mile long triangle. The island is in the southern temperate zone and is like a piece of western Kansas set in the South Pacific, he said.
Dr. Smith said Easter Island is the richest in archaeological re-
One of the most interesting islands, according to Dr. Smith, was Rapa, the southernmost island in French Oceania. It is six miles across with mountains over 2,000 feet high. Prehistoric fortified villages were built on volcano ridges. The people were the most untouched of all Polynesians.
New Red Move Reported

Anti-Neutron Discovered
BERKELEY, Calif. — (UP) — A team of University of California scientists have announced discovery of the anti-neutron, the last and long-sought-for particle which makes up the atom.
Announcement of the discovery was made by the university and the Atomic Energy Commission after the carefully guarded secret was broken by the student newspaper, The Daily Californian.
The discovery completes 25 years of study by scientists interested in proving a theory that atomic matter is composed of balancing sub-atomic particles.
In announcing the milestone in nuclear research, Nobel prize winner Ernest O. Lawrence said the discovery's immediate value lay in the "expanding of our understanding of the nature of matter."
Please Walk On The Grass
