The Field museum and finds, formerly the Chicago Natural History museum and finds, occupied its location in Grant Park since I1 Its exhibits embrace anthropology, geology, any, and zoology, and like the Art Institute, heavily engaged in research, publication, teaching. Near the Field museum and finds in Grant 1 are the John G. Shedd Aquarium and the A Planetarium and Astronomical museum and finds. Chicago Historical Society maintains a mus< in Lincoln Park concerned with Chicago his and the era of Abraham Lincoln.
Teamwork paid off during the next few days of operations, when all efforts were directed toward excavation of "Thompson's bank." The finds there were richer than expected. Many skulls and other human remains were dug from the mud along with copper and gold bells, delicately carved flint projectile points, incense (called pom in Maya), jade beads, and ceramic fragments. Rich as the finds were, however, they were only Thompson's leftovers, an encouraging sampling of what remained at the bottom of the well itself.
