The Great Journey
River Basin Surveys
Archaeological thought is dynamic. It progresses toward new goals, or veers from one to another and, as the pendulum of orthodoxy swings, the archaeologists' perception of what constitute appropriate foci for research changes with almost every student generation. Given such change and variation, it is small wonder that trends and events of the past rapidly grow dim in the discipline's collective memory; or that current trends are often taken for …

Administration of Contract Emergency Archaeological Programs
Contract emergency research is seen as sharing essentially the same limitations as other emergency work. These are: the pressure of time; an arbitrary restriction of geographic area of study; the obligation to sample adequately the full range of cultures represented; and the possible problem of dealing with a large volume of data. The contract also carries with it a stipulated deadline for the completion of an acceptable report. All of these limi…

Archeology
Material Culture
Before outlining this section concerned with material culture I should perhaps try to be explicit about the philosophy which guides me in archeological matters. It is my conviction that archeological work does not transcend antiquarianism (a legitimate and justifiable occupation) unless the specimens and the observational data are regarded as reflecting some cultural situation. For me a continuing circular preoccupation with artifacts is sterile.…
Comparisons
In order to discover the typological similarities of the Wendover collections to artifacts from other sites, and the cultural and chronological inferences such similarities give rise to, a series of collections will be reviewed for comparable data. It is again pointed out that the archeologist's universal assumption — that typological identity between specimens implies either direct or indirect cultural contact or chronological equivalence — is o…
The Setting
The pages which follow are a report of the findings from a series of archeological excavations in western Utah. The archeological sites were Danger (42To13), Juke Box (42To20), and Raven (24EK2) caves. Of these three Danger Cave was the most informative and lends its name to the report. Juke Box and Raven provided interesting problems in excavation, but their evidence as to cultural events was meager. The human story inferred in this report was s…
The Bias
Now against a regional and local environmental background, I should like to present in simple narrative the Great Basin chapter of the story of man in the western hemisphere as I conceive it. There are numerous archeologic stations in the west and in the Plains where deep layers of earth, one upon the other, have yielded collections of considerable age. Man’s tools are found, particularly in the Plains, in some of these layers in direct associati…
Geological Considerations
If the data recovered at the Wendover caves are to be fully evaluated, the student must turn to the geologic and climatic events of the late Pleistocene and the Recent geologic epochs. Some of the cave data may even contribute to the study of the sequence and duration of climatic fluctuations within late Pleistocene and Recent times. The archeological interest in geologic/climatic matters develops for various reasons. First is the matter of chron…

Prehistoric Man in the New World
Great Basin Prehistory
Since the Publication of Steward's interpretations of Great Basin prehistory, which were based upon field research ending about 1935, no attempt has been made in published form to collate and analyze currently available data on the full range of the prehistory of the area. Steward's conclusions are thoughtful and represent conservative, sound reasoning upon the basis of the data available and the theories current at the time. As might reasonably …
The Native Americans
The American Southwest
One of the seminar topics scheduled for the summer of 1955 by the Society for American Archaeology was “The American Southwest: A Problem in Cultural Isolation.” The assignment was to “... examine the assumption that these Southwestern cultures resulted from local acceptance and development of generalized and/or specific traits which can be isolated in distant cultural contexts at earlier times than their climactic developments can be observed in…

The Archaeological Survey of the Natchez Trace
The Natchez Trace Parkway is an area, still in a construction stage, controlled by the National Park Service. The Park Service's three general policies of presentation, protection, and interpretation are familiar to most Americans through either reading or travel, or both. Recently an innovation in Park Service areas-on a grand scale-has been introduced by congressional action, so that the Service has begun the development of a series of parkways…

Hopewell-Copena Sites near Nashville
A. J. Waring, Jr. has reported certain Hopewellian elements in northern Georgia. His comments reminded me of a site, previously unreported, in the vicinity of Franklin, Tennessee.I report from my field notes a site discovered two miles west of Franklin, atop Reid Hill, a knob 140 feet high: 'Built on the flat top of the hill, the conical mound measures 18 feet high by 80 feet in diameter. The mound is built of stones and earth. (These stones are …
