| Summary | "Forty-Eighth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology" by M. W. Stirling is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This report documents the Bureau's work and findings related to ethnological research among American Indians and other indigenous peoples during the fiscal year 1930-1931. The report includes discussions of archeological excavations, field research activities, and ethnographical studies that elucidate aspects of native cultures, languages, and histories. The opening of the report begins with a letter of transmittal to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, outlining the Bureau's activities and funding for the year. It highlights various systematic and special researches conducted by ethnologists, detailing significant archeological excavations in locations such as Florida and Haiti, as well as studies of indigenous languages and cultures in the southeastern U.S. The initial portion provides an overview of the research methods employed, findings from burial mounds, and the gradual process of documenting the languages and cultural practices of various Native American tribes, illustrating the Bureau's commitment to preserving and understanding the rich heritage of America's indigenous populations.
