Notes: Pamphlet.  I don’t think this is an offprint, but I’m also not sure if it was just excised from The Kiva, Volume 40, Nos. 1-2, 1974.  “An unusual occurrence of a macaw-child burial is reported as are 15 macaw skeletons that have been collected at the Grasshopper Ruin during the last 11 field seasons.”  (From the Abstract).  The natural range of macaws is at least 200 miles south of the Arizona-Mexico border.  From the library of the late archaeologist John Otis Brew, his signature at upper corner.  Very short (2 pages of text, 2 pages of photographs).  RARE.  NO copies available for sale.
