Transcribed Notes: Transcribed from handwritten inscription by D. Hancock on back of postcard: "This shows some of the excavators at work at the Buried City or 'Lost City' as it is sometimes called. This is near St. Thomas if you wish to look up its approximate location on the map. It was here I went last Spring on one of my trips."
