Old, New Cultures
Have Ties-Matson
Civilizations which existed nearly 9000 years ago in Iran
and Afghanistan have a great similarity to those of today, Dr.
Frederick Matson, professor of archaeology, said at the faculty
club luncheon Yesterday.
For this reason better understanding and interpretation
of ancient civilizations can be
made through noting habits of, the soil at planting time to make
the modern cultures, Matson said, the seed grow and also placed for

ing's included colored pottery
believed to be some of the earli

bowls, knives and animal bones.
The animal bones occasionally
had knife marks where the ani
mal's hide was cut to use for
clothing or thongs. Only a week
before returning home. Mat Son
found a large deposit of animal
bones which he hopes to be able
to examine for study on a return
trip. Because there are few skele

sheep was killed and its bones

study with the ancient animal
bones.
A large quantity of stone
fragments were found and were
sorted by two native women
helpers for knife blades once
used to cut food. Many of the
blades were shipped back to
the United States.
Many figurines, including fer

archaeologi.its. Matson theorized
