To Dig Into Man’s Past

Yale University Expedition to Peru Will Try to Find Bones of the Ancients

The ruins of Machu Picchu

New Haven, Conn.—The next expedition to Peru, which will be made this year under the direction of Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale, will not be geographical as in the case of the last expedition, It was announced at Yale, recently, but will concentrate its work largely in that region where the human bones were found under a glacial deposit which indicated a minimum age of 2,000 years.

It is believed that with a combination of geographical research and prospective new discoveries of human relics much light will be shed upon the age of man in South America. In connection with this investigation there will also be research in architectural remains of the Incas civilization and of the periods which preceded it.
