Excerpt from Archaeology of Delaware River Valley, Vol. 1: Between Hancock and Dingman's Ferry, in Wayne and Pike Counties Those interested in Pennsylvania antiquities are to be congratulated on the presentation in the present volume of Dr. Max Schrabisch's "Archaeology of the Delaware River Valley between Hancock and Dingman's Ferry." Not only is it a work of profound research and originality but it sets a high standard for further similar productions appearing under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Historical Commission. Furthermore, it is a work of literary merit as well as historical accuracy, and is written in exceptionally clear English. It is not a mere compendium, dry and technical, hut is delightfully written, and holds the reader's attention like a page of Macaulay. It covers a section of country full of aboriginal remains, yet a region long settled by the whites, where one would suppose that these traces of earlier inhabitants would be well-nigh effaced. Tireless tracker, and indefatigable student that he is. Dr. Schrabiseh has attained the seemingly impossible in re-ereating for us a consecutive record of archaeological development, which will remain as the foundation for any future commentaries. In presenting this, the fruits of Dr. Schrabiseh's labors, it not only stands out as a fine initial achievement of the Pennsylvania Indian Survey, but calls attention to the urgent need of similar reports from all other sections of Pennsylvania where there arc aboriginal or prehistoric remains. Dr. Sehrabiseh's great work treats one locality and the types of remains therein. Other parts of Pennsylvania where there are different races of early inhabitants and entirely diversified types of remains deserve identical attention and review. We feel, and let us hope that Dr. Schrabiseh's report starts a series, not only of further splendid work by hiiusclf, but by other research students in the interest of the Historical Commission and the Indian Survey covering the whole of Pennsylvania. Undoubtedly the appearance of this volume, so lucid and technically correct will, through its appeal to a wide class of readers, lead to a demand for similar reports from other sections of the Commonwealth, so that in the next ten years all parts will be covered, notably southwestern Pennsylvania, where a mass of materials, typical of Dr. Schrabisch's discoveries in the northwestern district, have been uncovered during the past six months.
