Describes work with the Seneca at Tonawanda Reservation, New York, with the Zuni and Oraibi pueblos, and the discovery of two ruins near Kinikel and "Houcks Tank," New Mexico. Zuni, New Mexico October 9, 1883.
Scope and Contents
The annual report is presented in 2 parts: (1) a general review of work done during the year, including copies of orders for the Oraibi expedition, 18 pages, and (2) "Report on Oraibi," 52 pages plus a catalogue of collections made at Oraibi for the National Museum, 10 pages. Cushing's letter of transmittal also mentions an "Introduction to a Catalogue of the Ancient Series, Moqui Collections, made in 1883," which was not ready to be submitted at the time the other parts were sent to J.W. Powell; this manuscript is not with the 1882-1883 annnual report and is apparently not in National Anthropological Archives.
