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 Eeservoir, 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. Koberts and his associates went to Denver, Colo., where 

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

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

 examined and studied a collection of specimens from excavations 

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

 at the Keyhole Eeservoir. 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 E. 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. Eoberts and his companions went to Billings, Mont., 

 to confer with regional officials of the Bureau of Eeclamation about 

 the various projects underway or contemplated in that portion of 

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

 Cotter from the Washington office of the National Park Service. 

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

 where they inspected the excavations being conducted by Eiver 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 Eiver Basin Sur- 

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

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

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

 two Eiver 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. Eoberts and his associates went to the 

 Fort Eandall Eeservoir where another Eiver 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 

 Eandall the group returned to the headquarters at Lincoln where
