SIXTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT 27 



the close of the fiscal year Dr. Drucker was at the field headquarters 

 in Eugene. 



Franklin Fenega and Clarence E. Smith, archeologists, had just 

 commenced their field work at the beginning of the fiscal year. During 

 the month of July they investigated three reservoir areas in the 

 Willamette Eiver drainage, the Detroit, Dorena, and Meridian, in 

 Oregon. From there they proceeded to the site of the McNary Keser- 

 voir on the Columbia River just upstream from Umatilla, Oreg., and 

 Plymouth, Wash., where they continued investigations for the re- 

 mainder of the summer. All these reservoirs are Corps of Engineers 

 projects. McNary Reservoir they found to be extremely rich in archeo- 

 logical remains, and after the preliminary reconnaissance survey had 

 been completed on August 20, they carried out an intensive survey to 

 establish which of the many sites found would most fruitfully reward 

 excavation. On the basis of their intensive survey it was possible 

 to make recommendations for the excavation of five groups of sites. 

 On completion of the field work they summarized their field data, and 

 submitted a preliminary report. Mr. Fenega resigned from the River 

 Basin Surveys on September 22 in order to return to his academic 

 work at the University of California. Mr. Smith was transferred to 

 temporary headquarters at Berkeley, Calif., on the 22d, and carried 

 out surveys at the following reservoirs in California: Dry Creek, 

 Monticello, Kelsey Creek, Indian Valley, Sly Park, and Wilson Valley. 

 On December 17 he resigned from the Surveys to resume academic 

 work at the University of California. 



Richard D. Daugherty, archeologist, and Francis A. Riddell, field 

 assistant, were also just starting field work at the beginning of the 

 fiscal year. During the remainder of the field season they examined 

 the following reservoir areas : Cascade, Smith's Ferry, Scrivers Creek, 

 Garden Valley in Idaho ; Equalizing, Long Lake, and Potholes (O'Sul- 

 livan) in Washington; Anderson Ranch and Palisades in Idaho; and 

 Hungry Horse in Montana ; all projects of the Bureau of Reclamation. 

 The greatest wealth of archeological remains they found to occur in 

 the Bureau of Reclamation's Columbia Basin project, comprising 

 Equalizing, Long Lake, and Potholes (O'Sullivan) Reservoirs. Both 

 men resigned from the River Basin Surveys staff on September 24, 

 having completed the preliminary reports on their field investiga- 

 tions for the season. On June 15, Mr. Daugherty was reappointed to 

 the River Basin Surveys staff and was put in charge of the coopera- 

 tive project arranged with the Department of Anthropology of the 

 University of Washington. On June 19 he departed for the field 

 with his crew and established a field camp in the Moses Lake area. 

 At the end of the fiscal year he was still in the field in that location, 

 Mr. Riddell was reappointed to the River Basin Surveys staff as field 

 assistant on July 28 and departed with other members of the survey
