68 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1959 
season’s work along the Chattahoochee, all the records and collections 
of the three field parties were sent to the laboratory of the River Basin 
Surveys at Lincoln, Nebr., for processing there and for use in the 
preparation of reports on the investigations. 
The only other work by the River Basin Surveys pertaining to 
Georgia was that of Carl F. Miller, who completed a report en the 
test digging that he did during the previous year at the Tugaloo site 
in the Hartwell Reservoir area. However, the University of Georgia 
in cooperation with the National Park Service carried on a series of 
investigations in the Oliver Reservoir Basin and at the Standley 
Farm site, also known as Stark’s Clay Landing, in the Walter F. 
George Reservoir on the Georgia side of the river. Work was con- 
tinuing at the latter location at the end of the fiscal year. 
Arkansas.—No fieldwork was carried on in Arkansas during the 
year ended June 30, 1959. However, a detailed technical report, 
“Archeological Investigations in the Dardanelle Reservoir Area of 
West-Central Arkansas,” was completed by Dr. Warren W. Caldwell. 
The report consists of 85 typed pages, 2 maps, 8 plates, and 6 text 
figures. It will be published as a River Basin Surveys paper when 
printing funds for that purpose are available. 
Kansas.—The only work done by the River Basin Surveys pertain- 
ing to Kansas during the fiscal year was the completion of a detailed 
technical report on the excavation of four sites in the Lovewell Reser- 
voir area on White Rock Creek in Jewell County in the north-central 
part of the State. The report was written by Robert W. Neuman and 
is entitled, “Archeological Salvage Investigations in the Lovewell 
Reservoir Area, Kansas.” It consists of 84 typed pages, 12 plates, 
and 3 text figures, and will be published as a River Basin Surveys 
paper. 
The Kansas State Historical Society at Topeka carried on surveys 
and did some test digging in the Pomona and Melvern Reservoir 
areas under a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service. 
The Pomona Dam is to be built on the 110-Mile Creek, and Melvern 
Dam will be in the Marais de Cygnes River. 
Missouri River Basin—The Missouri Basin project continued to 
operate from the field headquarters and laboratory at 1517 O Street, 
Lincoln, Nebr. Dr. Robert L. Stephenson served as chief of the 
project throughout the year. Activities included work on all four 
phases of the salvage program: (1) Survey, (2) excavation, (3) anal- 
ysis, and (4) reporting. Most of the effort during the summer months 
was directed toward the second phase, with only minor attention to 
the first phase. The third and fourth phases received the major at- 
tention in the winter months. The special chronology program, be- 
gun last fiscal year, was continued.
