30 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



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.
