 Missouri Basin Reservoir Areas," that was published in the Plains

 for publication by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Throughout

 the Plains Anthropologist and as chairman of the historic documenta- 

 tion section of the Missouri Basin Chronology Program. He partici- 

 pated in the 18th Plains Conference, held in Norman, Okla., over 

 Thanksgiving weekend with a report of his current field activities.

 ence on Historic Buildings and Sites" at Iowa State University at 

 Ames. On January 26-28, at the annual meeting of the Society of

 tects, held in Lincoln. On April 14 he spoke at the seventy-first
