10 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



The main office in Washington continued general supervision of 

 the program, while the field headquarters and laboratory at Lincoln, 

 Nebr., was responsible for the activities in the Missouri Basin, and 

 in addition provided equipment and office assistance for the parties 

 engaged in the Chattahoochee River project. The materials collected

 the Chattahoochee Basin, were processed at the Lincoln laboratory. 



Washington office, — The main headquarters of the River Basin Sur- 

 veys at the Bureau of American Ethnology continued under the 

 direction of Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr. As previously men- 

 tioned, Carl F. Miller, archeologist, was detailed to the regular 

 Bureau staff for the period July 3 to December 14, 1958. After 

 his return to the River Basin Surveys staff, Mr. Miller completed 

 the final revision of his report on the "Archeology of the John H. 

 Kerr Reservoir, Southern Virginia and Northern North Carolina." 

 The report includes a summary of the many sites located during the 

 course of the original survey of the area, as well as detailed informa- 

 tion on those which were excavated by Mr. Miller. After submit- 

 ting the John H. Kerr report, Mr. Miller began work on the final 

 report pertaining to the investigations that he made at the Hoster- 

 man site (38P07) in the Oahe Reservoir area. South Dakota, dur- 

 ing a previous field season. The report was approximately one-half 

 complete at the end of the year. During the winter and spring 

 months Mr. Miller spoke before several teachers' organizations in the 

 Washington area, addressed a meeting of the Narragansett Archeo- 

 logical Society at Providence, R.I., the Archeological Society of 

 Virginia in Richmond, and the Southern Branch of the Archeologi-

 compared the materials from the John H. Kerr Reservoir with those 

 from the Shepard Barracks site in Maryland where excavations were 

 carried on by the Maryland Society. In June, Mr. Miller read proof 

 on an article about Russell Cave, which is to appear in a book on 

 National Parks and Monuments in the United States being issued 

 by the National Geographic Society. In January Mr. Miller received 

 the Franklin L. Burr Award from the National Geographic Society 

 in "recognition of his outstanding contributions to the science of 

 geography and early American history through the archeological 

 investigations of Russell Cave, Alabama." At the end of the fiscal 

 year Mr. Miller was working in the Washington office.
