Fewkes, Jessie Walter. Bulletin 51 (1911). Fewkes argued against desecration of historic tribal dwellings.

Kidder and Guernsey did extensive excavations in Northeastern Arizona that led to the publication of this bulletin. Includes examples of polychrome red ware, corrugated vessels, and baskets.

The population increased steadily throughout the first half of the 20th century until the publication of this bulletin discovered over 93,000 IBM enrolled Navajo members. With one fold-out map.
