 time and good fortune and bit by bit fits them together into a mosaic 

 portraying Mogollon culture from 5000 B.C. to about a.d. 1350. 



George I. Quimby, Curator of North American Archaeology and 

 Ethnology, conducted research on problems of archaeology and en- 

 vironment in the Upper Great Lakes region. He made study-trips 

 to museums, universities, and colleges in Wisconsin, Michigan, and 

 Ontario and field trips to northern Wisconsin, the upper peninsula 

 of Michigan, and the north shore of Lake Superior in Ontario (see 

 page 34). During the survey of the north shore of Lake Superior 

 (a joint expedition of this Museum and the Museum of Anthropology 

 of the University of Michigan led by Curator Quimby and Dr. James 

 B. Griffin, Director of the Museum of Anthropology) test excava- 

 tions were made in an Old Copper site on the shore of Lake Nipigon 

 and in a historic Chippewa site at the mouth of the Pic River. The 

 Chippewa site was unusual in that it contained cord-marked pottery 

 associated with European trade-goods representative of the period 

 around 1700. Research on Upper Great Lakes archaeology and en- 

 vironment has included not only the data of archaeology but also the 

 data of glacial geology, paleontology, pollen analysis, and other divi- 

 sions of natural science in combination with geochronology and radio- 

 carbon dates. Curator Quimby is writing a book on the results. 



Dr. Donald Collier, Curator of South American Archaeology and 

 Ethnology, made progress on analysis of data gathered in 1956 during 

 the archaeological expedition to Peru. Under his supervision Myron 

 Rosenberg and William Shroebel of the Department of Geography, 

 University of Chicago, prepared a detailed map of the Casma Valley 

 (scale of 1:40,000) showing topography, archaeological sites, irriga- 

 tion canals, and the extent of cultivation at present and in prehistoric 

 times based on aerial photographs and field data collected in 1956. 

 The specimens collected by the expedition reached the Museum at 

 end of June, and wood samples for radiocarbon dating have been sub-
