River. The collection secured at Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon by the Hyde Expedition fills the remainder of the alcove. The second archaeological alcove farther down the hall has the Hyde collections from Grand Gulch, Utah, with prehistoric basketry and other textiles of great interest; pottery from Casas Grandes, Mexico, and from Mimbres Valley, New Mexico; a large wall case with collections from the Mesa Verde and Little Colorado; and, in particular, pottery from the Aztec ruin.

A large wall case contains a comparative exhibit of basketry. The next alcove contains a small collection from the Pima and Papago. The middle alcove is nearly filled with Navajo blankets, illustrating the various types of weaving.
