 the work of Eiver Basin Surveys or that which was in direct coopera- 

 tion between the Surveys and local institutions is included in the 

 preceding figures. Investigations carried on under agreements be- 

 tween the National Park Service and State and local institutions have 

 not been included because complete information about them is not 

 available. 



Throughout the year helpful cooperation was received from the 

 National Park Service, the Bureau of Eeclamation, Corps of Engi- 

 neers and other Army personnel, and various State and local insti- 

 tutions. The Corps of Engineers provided transportation and guides 

 for work in one of the reservoir areas and the Commanding Officer 

 at Fort Benning in Georgia assigned certain Army personnel to as- 

 sist in some of the investigations made in that portion of the Walter 

 F. George Reservoir basin which lies in the Fort Benning Reserva- 

 tion. Helicopters were also furnished on several occasions to enable 

 the archeologists to take aerial photographs of several sites in the 

 reservoir area. In the Missouri Basin temporary headquarters and 

 living accommodations were provided at several projects and storage 

 space was made available so that much of the field equipment could be 

 left at Pierre, S. Dak., during the winter months. The construction 

 agency lent mechanical equipment in several instances to assist in 

 heavy excavation and the backfilling of trenches and test pits. The 

 various party leaders from the River Basin Surveys were given as- 

 sistance by field personnel of all the agencies and the work was greatly 

 expedited as a result. The National Park Service continued to serve 

 as the liaison between the various agencies in the field as well as in 

 Washington. The estimates and justifications for the funds needed 

 to carry on the salvage program were also prepared by the Park 

 Service. In Georgia the University of Georgia, the Georgia Histori- 

 cal Commission, and various local clubs and groups of citizens were 

 particularly helpful to the parties working along the Chattahoochee 

 River.
