6 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



were found. Through the interest of K. E. Langford, of North 

 Platte, he was able to see a number of locations where Folsom-type 

 objects have been found and add to the series of notes that is being 

 kept on the subject of Folsom distribution. From North Platte Dr. 

 Roberts returned to Washington. 



The winter and spring montlis were devoted to office duties. These 

 included the study of the material obtained during the summer's 

 excavations and the revision and completion for publication of a 

 manuscript on archeological work done in the Whitewater District 

 in eastern Arizona. Besides completely revising the text of this re- 

 port, 15 additional plans and diagrams were drawn to augment those 

 already prepared. This manuscript was turned over to the editor and 

 is to appear as Bulletin 121 of the Bureau of American Ethnology. 

 With the permission of the Chief of the Bureau and the Secretary 

 of the Smithsonian Institution, several short manuscripts were pre- 

 pared for publication in anthropological journals and other profes^ 

 sional papers. 



Dr. Roberts left Washington on June 7, 1938, for Fort Collins, 

 Colo., and again resumed excavations at the Lindemneier Site. At 

 the close of the fiscal year the diggings had been reopened and a num- 

 ber of specimens obtained. These included several pieces of bone that 

 bear evidence of attempts at engraving designs on them and give 

 some indications of a certain amount of artistic effort on the part of 

 Folsom men. 



Dr. J. H. Steward, ethnologist, remained in Washington during 

 the greater part of the fiscal year and completed his final report 

 on the tribes of the Great Basin-Plateau area. This was submitted 

 to the editor and will appear as Bulletin 120 of the Bureau. In 

 anticipation of an extended expedition to South America, Dr. Stew- 

 ard spent considerable time in making preparations for his projected 

 ethnological studies in the western part of South America. On April 

 20 he left Washington for Ecuador in order to begin this work. The 

 end of the fiscal year found him still in Ecuador working among the 

 highland Indians.
