a cooperative undertaking between the Laboratory of Anthropology 

 and the Inter- Agency Archeological Salvage Program. While there 

 the party examined several sites which had been excavated during the 

 summer or were then being dug. From Dr. Champe's camp the party 

 proceeded to Medicine Creek Reservoir, near Cambridge, Nebr., where 

 E. Mott Davis of the Nebraska State Museum, University of Nebraska, 

 was carrying on another cooperative project, excavating a site con- 

 taining material belonging in the Early Man category. From Medi- 

 cine Creek Dr. Roberts and his associates went to Denver, Colo., where 

 they conferred with officials in the regional office of the Bureau of 

 Reclamation. From Denver they went to Laramie, Wyo., where they 

 examined and studied a collection of specimens from excavations 

 carried on by Dr. William MuUoy of the University of Wyoming 

 at the Keyhole Reservoir. The latter work was also a cooperative 

 project. From Laramie the party went to Cody, Wyo., where it spent 

 2 days at the Horner site where a joint party from the Smithsonian 

 Institution and Princeton University, under the leadership of Dr. 

 Waldo R. Wedel and Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen, was collecting interesting 

 new evidence on one of the early hunting groups in the Plains area. 

 From Cody, Dr. Roberts and his companions went to Billings, Mont., 

 to confer with regional officials of the Bureau of Reclamation about 

 the various projects underway or contemplated in that portion of 

 the Missouri Basin. At Billings the party was joined by Jolin L. 

 Cotter from the Washington office of the National Park Service. 

 From Billings, they went to the Garrison Reservoir in North Dakota 

 where they inspected the excavations being conducted by River Basin 

 Surveys parties at the site of Fort Berthold II and an early his- 

 toric Indian village on the top of a small butte near Elbowoods, 

 N. Dak. The group then went on to Bismarck, N. Dak., where it 

 examined and studied materials which had been collected by a party 

 from the North Dakota State Historical Society at the site of the 

 Indian village which was adjacent to Fort Berthold II. From Bis- 

 marck the party proceeded to Jamestown where the River Basin Sur- 

 veys were excavating a village site and some mounds in the area 

 to be flooded by the Jamestown Reservoir. It then proceeded to 

 the Oahe Dam of the Oahe Reservoir near Pierre, S. Dak., where 

 two River Basin Surveys groups were digging. One of the latter was 

 at work in the remains of a fortified village a short distance above 

 the dam while the other was occupied at an earlier site some miles 

 upstream. From Pierre, Dr. Roberts and his associates went to the 

 Fort Randall Reservoir where another River Basin Surveys party 

 was digging in two sites. En route they stopped and inspected a 

 site where the University of Kansas had carried on a cooperative 

 excavation project during the earlier part of the season. From Fort 

 Randall the group returned to the headquarters at Lincoln where
