July in studying the geology of the district. As a part of their investi- 

 gations they prepared a map of a portion of the terrain lying to the 

 east of the archeological site. To facilitate their work, a level was run 

 from a United States Geological Survey bench-mark (located on the 

 line between sec. 19, T. 12 N., R. 68 W., and sec. 24, T. 12 N., R. 

 69 W., sixth principal meridian) and an accurate bench-mark based 

 on mean sea level datum established at the site. E. G. Cassedy, illustra- 

 tor for the Bureau of American Ethnology, joined the party in August 

 and made a survey of the site proper, and some of the outlying area 

 not mapped by Bryan. Mr. Cassedy has combined his and Bryan's 

 surveys in a map showing the general topographical features of the 

 site and adjacent region. 



The announcement of the finds made at the Lindenmeier site in the 

 autumn of 1934 attracted wide-spread attention and aroused a lively 

 interest in the subject. As a result there were many visitors while 

 work was under way. The numerous groups included anthropologists, 

 paleontologists, geologists, geographers, and various scientists whose 

 fields of research are not closely related to the present investigations. 

 Among the anthropologists attracted to the site during the summer of 

 1935 were : A. V. Kidder and E. H. Morris, of the Carnegie Institu- 

 tion of Washington; E. W. Haury and E. B. Sayles, of Gila Pueblo, 

 Globe, Ariz. ; Donald Scott, of the Peabody Museum, Cambridge. 

 Mass.; L. L. Leh, of the Department of Anthropology, University of 

 Colorado ; R. L. Zingg, of the University of Colorado Summer School, 

 and his class in anthropology. Dr. E. B. Renaud, of the University of 

 Denver, visited the site a number of times prior to 1935, and W. D. 

 Strong, of the Bureau of American Ethnology, spent 2 days there 

 while the writer was at M-ork in the autumn of 1934. Geologists, 

 paleontologists, and geographers present during the summer were : 

 Paul MacClintock, Princeton University ; Erederic B. Loomis, 

 Amherst College ; Wm. Van Royen and A. L. Lugn. University of 

 Nebraska ; C. Bertrand Schultz, of the Nebraska State Museum. 



Members of the party engaged in the actual archeological work 

 during the 1935 season were : W. C. Beatty, Jr., Denver, Colo. ; C. T. 

 R. Bohannon, Washington, D. C. ; A. L. Coffin, Fort Collins, Colo. ; 

 L. C. Eiseley, Lincoln, Nebr. ; II. L. Mason, Silver Spring, Md. ; 

 Carl E. Miller, Tucson, Ariz. ; Roger Mixter, Boston, Mass. ; Wayne 

 Powars, Greeley, Colo. ; and George L. McLellan, Locli, Calif. 



The Lindenmeier site, as described in the preliminary paper issued 

 in the spring of 1935,' is located on an old valley bottom, which, owing
