Abstract
ABSTRACTThere is ample evidence to support the belief that the American Indians collected meteorites and preserved them for longer or shorter periods, during which, in some cases, the meteorites were transported over considerable distances. The strip of country along the Rio Puerco, within which the Puente‐Ladron, New Mexico, aerolite was found, was one of the main highways of Amerind traffic and a favorite camping and hunting ground until very recent times. Unless it can be shown that the aerolite in question was not transported into this area by an Indian and there discarded or lost, an all‐out search of the Puente‐Ladron area for other members of the shower to which it has been conjectured the stone belongs does not seem justified.
