“Tepexpan Man,” a Critique of Method

Extract

On October 17, 1947,1 read a paper, “A Critique of Some Archaeological Field Methods,” before the Anthropology Section of the Indiana Academy of Science. The occasion was the annual meeting of the group at Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana. The paper in its entirety was accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the Academy. I later withdrew the paper because I did not believe this to be the proper medium for its dissemination. The Proceedings for 1947 has now been issued and since it contains an abstract of my paper1 I think it proper to proceed with its publication with some minor changes.
