braska, and in January he was elected to the Graduate College. At 

 the end of the year Dr. Caldwell was in the Lincoln office continuing 

 his administrative duties. 



Lionel A. Brown, archeologist, when not in the field, devoted his 

 time to laboratory study and reporting of materials from his 1962 

 and 1963 surveys and excavations. In addition, he assumed responsi- 

 bility for a portion of the backlog of unreported sites contained in the 

 Missouri Basin Project files. During the spring Mr. Brown made a 

 preliminary analysis of the specimens excavated from the Chapelle 

 Creek Village (39HU60) during the 1963 season as a guide to further 

 work at the site. A manuscript entitled "Archeological Investigations 

 in the Lower Yellowtail Reservoir, Montana," was rewritten in second 

 draft. Another, a comprehensive report, "Archeological Investiga- 

 tions in the Pony Creek Watershed, Iowa," was in rough draft form, 

 and "The Gillette Site (39ST23), Oahe Reservoir, South Dakota," 

 was in near final form. During the year his survey report, "An 

 Appraisal of the Archeological and Paleontological Resources of Six 

 Reservoir Areas in Kansas and Nebraska," was issued for limited 

 distribution. Two brief field reports, "Survey of the Pony Creek 

 Watershed, Iowa," and "Archeology of the Lower Yellowtail Reser- 

 voir, Montana," {Plairis Anthropologist^ vol. 8, No. 20, p. 117, and vol. 

 8, No. 20, p. 119, respectively) and two articles "The Fort Smith Medi- 

 cine Wheel, Montana" and "A Crow Lodge Frame" were published 

 in the Plains Anthropologist (vol. 8, No. 22, pp. 225-230, 273-274, 

 respectively). Another, "The Lungren Site: An Archaic Manifesta- 

 tion in Southeastern Iowa," appeared in abstract in the Proceedings 

 of the llfth Annual Meeting of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences, 

 Lincoln (p. 3) . On May 24, at the annual meeting of the Iowa Arche- 

 ological Society, he presented a summary of recent work in south- 

 western Iowa, and on the 25th he made a brief survey of sites in the 

 Rathbun Reservoir of south-central Iowa. At the end of the year 

 Mr. Brown was again in the field engaged in archeological excavations 

 at the Chapelle Creek site, S. Dak. 



John J. Hoffman, archeologist, when not in the field, devoted most 

 of his efforts to the laboratory analysis and preparation of reports, 

 based upon materials excavated during his field work of the past two 

 years. In addition, he has undertaken a reanalysis of certain pottery 

 collections that have been previously described in the literature to 

 bring them into accord with current concepts. A large site report, 

 "Molstad Village: A Fortified Site in the Oahe Reservoir, South 

 Dakota," was completed in first draft, and a shorter paper reexamin- 

 ing a number of late prehistoric and early historic sites in the Mobridge 

 area. South Dakota, and an analysis of materials from the La Roche 

 sites are under way. Previous studies of Mr. Hoffman's, published
