XII FOREWORD 
basis for his report which is River Basin Surveys Papers No. 32. In 
his description and conclusions pertaining to the village and camp 
manifestations occurring there, he includes the data which were col- 
lected by Mr. Lamb and Mr. Cooper. He concludes that the remains 
in the area represent the Late Ceramic Period of the Central Plains 
and that the date of occupancy was in the late 17th century. The 
mound which was excavated falls into a somewhat earlier period and 
probably dates at about A.D. 1200. The work of Mr. Neuman and his 
predecessors has provided good general knowledge about the Indian 
cultures in that part of Kansas.
