Extract

A fairly large fragmentary pottery (Fig. 1) bell was “rediscovered” some months ago while several of us were systematizing archaeological materials stored in the Laboratory of Anthropology at Santa Fe. Although the piece was probably excavated in the late 1920’s or early 1930’s, it has never been reported. The bell was included with Jemez area archaeological materials, studied and reported by the late Paul Reiter (1938: 155–7, PI. XXII b, c). Possibly Reiter did not consider this part of a bell, or it may have been overlooked. In any event, because such items are rare, this object should not pass unnoticed.
