worked in the Buena Vista watershed project and the Arroyo Grande 
Creed watershed project in California. Idaho State College made 
surveys along the Upper Snake, the Salmon, and Middle Fork Rivers 
in Idaho. The University of Southern Illinois carried on surveys 
and excavations in the Carlyle Dam area on the Kaskaskia River in 
south-central Illinois. In New Mexico the School of American Re- 
search excavated in the Abiquiu Reservoir area along the Chama 
River and made surveys in the Navajo Reservoir area along the San 
Juan River in northern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado. The 
University of Oklahoma participated in three projects. One con- 
sisted of a reexamination of the Fort Gibson Reservoir basin on the 
Grand or Neosho River. Surveys and excavations were made there 
a number of years ago before the dam was completed and the area 
flooded. Because of a greatly lowered pool level last year it was 
possible to return to the area and examine a number of sites which 
had been under water for some time. The other two projects of the 
University of Oklahoma were in the Sandy Creek Reservoir area 
along the Blue River and Waurika Reservoir basin along Beaver 
Creek, a tributary of the Red River. The University of Oregon sur- 
veyed and excavated in two reservoir basins. One was the Immigrant 
on Beaver Creek, a tributary of the Rogue River, and the other was 
the John Day along the Columbia River. The University of Texas 
continued its excavation project at the Ferrell’s Bridge Reservoir 
along Cypress Creek, a tributary of the Red River in eastern Texas. 
The State College of Washington continued excavations in the Ice 
Harbor Reservoir area along the Lower Snake River in southeastern 
Washington. In the New England area surveys were made on a per- 
sonal contract basis by one member of the Department of Anthro- 
pology at Harvard University and by a member of the faculty from 
Temple University at Philadelphia. All these projects were carried 
on under agreements with the National Park Service. In several 
areas local. groups continued to assist on a voluntary basis. These 
activities were mainly in Ohio, Indiana, and southern California.
