Universities of Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas provided 

 space for field offices and laboratories for regular units of the Surveys, 

 while the Universities of Denver, Colorado, and California, and 

 Western State College of Colorado supplied temporary bases of 

 operations for specific projects. The Universities of CaHfornia, 

 Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington joined forces with the Surveys 

 for some reconnaissance work and for the excavations at the Fort 

 Gibson, McNary, and O 'Sullivan Reservoirs. In a number of cases 

 responsibility for units in the survey and excavation program was 

 assumed by State and local institutions. 



The Museum of Northern Arizona and the University of Arizona 

 did some preliminary survey work, while the San Diego Museum of 

 Man conducted surveys and did some digging in the area of the Davis 

 Dam on the Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. The Uni- 

 versity of Arkansas engaged in both reconnaissance and excavations 

 in the area of Bull Shoals Reservoir in that State. The California 

 Archeological Survey of the University of California conducted ex- 

 cavations at the Pine Flat and Isabella Reservoirs, while the Archeo- 

 logical Surveys Association of Southern California carried on recon- 

 naissance work in that part of the State. The Florida Park Service 

 surveyed the section in northern Florida that will be affected by the 

 Jim Woodruff Dam on the Apalachicola River near Chattahooche and 

 did some digging in a number of sites. The University of Georgia 

 continued its surveys along the Chattahooche and Flint Rivers and 

 conducted excavations at one site in the Allatoona Reservoir on the 

 Etowah River. In Illinois the University of Illinois, the University 

 of Chicago, and the Illinois State Museum furnished information 

 about the extent and character of sites in the basins of 15 reservoir 

 projects proposed for the Illinois River drainage. The Indiana His- 

 torical Bureau carried on surveys and did some excavating not only 

 at proposed Federal projects, but at those under State construction 

 as well. 



The Museum of Natural History of the University of Kansas made 

 excavations at Kanopolis Reservoir in July and August of 1948 in sites 

 where the rising waters of the reservoir were already encroaching upon 

 the remains. The results of that work were reported on by Dr. 

 Carlyle S. Smith in an article, ''Archeological Investigations in Ells- 

 worth and Rice Counties, Kansas," which appeared in American 

 Antiquity, vol. 14, No. 4, April 1949. In June of 1949 the same 

 institution was beginning investigations at the Glen Elder Reservoir 

 with other work planned for the Woodston, Webster, and Cedar Bluff 

 projects in the same region of the Solomon River drainage. In Ken- 

 tucky the University continued its program of excavations at the 

 Wolf Creek Reservoir on the Cumberland River and at the Dewey
