During the spring and summer months the archaeological 

 survey of the Chicago area, which was begun two years ago, was 

 continued as part of the work of the Chicago area archaeological 

 project. Seven days were spent in testing the Huber site, much of 

 which work was done by volunteers — members of the Earth Science 

 Club of Northern Illinois and the staff of Chicago Natural History 

 Museum, students from the University of Chicago, and others 

 interested in the prehistory of the area — under the direction of 

 Miss Elaine Bluhm, Assistant in Archaeology. Several sections of 

 the large village-area were tested, and the intensity of occupation 

 in each was determined by the depth of deposit and amount of 

 village debris. The pottery and stone, bone, and shell artifacts 

 were brought to the Museum, where they were washed, classified, 

 and catalogued. More than 5,000 sherds were recovered, most of 

 which may be described as shell-tempered Upper Mississippi type.
