SIXTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 31 



Reservoir on Johns Creek. The University of Missouri and the 

 Missouri Archeological Society again cooperated in making surveys 

 in a number of reservoirs and in excavating sites in the Missouri por- 

 tion of the Bull Shoals Reservoir and in the Clearwater and Pomme 

 de Terre basins on the Black and Pomme de Terre Rivers, respec- 

 tively. At the end of the year Montana State University was 

 starting field work at the Canyon Ferry Reservoir on the Missouri 

 River near Townsend, Mont. 



The Laboratory of Anthropology of the University of Nebraska 

 was excavating in sites at the Harlan County Reservoir on the Re- 

 publican River in the southern part of the State at the start of the 

 fiscal year and had retm-ned to the same locaHty for further activities 

 in June 1949. The work done during the summer of 1948 was de- 

 scribed by Dr. John L. Champe, in a report, ''White Cat Village," 

 published in American Antiquity, vol, 14, No. 4, April 1949. The 

 Nebraska State Historical Society excavated a number of sites in the 

 Medicine Creek Reservoir area in the early months of the year and 

 in June had a party digging in the Mullen Reservoir area on the 

 Middle Loup River in the north-central part of the State. The Uni- 

 versity of Nebraska State Museum continued its paleontological and 

 archeological investigations in the Harlan County and Medicine 

 Creek Reservoir areas. One site in the Medicine Creek basin that 

 proved of particular interest because of its implications of consider- 

 able antiquity was described in an article, "The Frontier Culture 

 Complex, a Preliminary Report on a Prehistoric Hunter's Camp in 

 Southwestern Nebraska,'' written by Preston Holder and Joyce Wike 

 and printed in American Antiquity, vol. 14, No. 4, April 1949, 



The University of North Dakota and the North Dakota Historical 

 Society cooperated in excavations at the Baldhill Reservoir in the 

 eastern part of the State in the summer of 1948, and toward the close 

 of the fiscal year were preparing for intensive survey work in the 

 Garrison Reservoir on the Missouri River near Sanish, N. Dak. The 

 results of the previous summer's work were discussed by Dr. Gordon 

 W. Hewes in ''Burial Mounds in the Baldhill Area, North Dakota," 

 which appeared in the April 1949 issue of American Antiquity, vol. 

 14, No. 4. The Ohio State Museum did some survey and excavation 

 work. The University of Oklahoma, as previously mentioned, did 

 some digging at the Fort Gibson Reservoir and made independent 

 surveys in other areas. The University of Utah assumed responsi- 

 bility for surveys at a number of projects in the southwestern corner 

 of that State but at the close of the year had not yet started field 

 work. In Wisconsin, Beloit College made surveys and did some 

 digging in the Black River project.
