Bandelier traveled extensively in New Mexico during the years covered in the Journals. He visited nearly all of the northern pueblos lived at Santo Domingo for a short time and spent many months at Cochiti where he observed and recorded ceremonies and delved into the social organization of the pueblo. With little more scientific training than a keen intelligence deep interest and an ability to observe with care Bandelier applied himself to anthropology with a passion that lasted throughout his life. Establishing the foundations on which a new science would someday rise was a task which fell to Bandelier one of the first systematic anthropologists in America. His most important contribution lies in his attempt to combine several disciplines-history ethnology archaeology and the Spanish literature of the Conquest-in studies of America's ancient cultures. His application of sound ethnological practices to the interpretation of archaeological ruins set him sharply apart from romanticizers of the American Indian.
