Analysis of 1964 Field Research Results
C.T. Shay, who finished excavations at the Itasca bison site last summer, is now Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Colorado State University, Shay will spend the upcoming summer continuing his analysis and interpretation of the site data at the University of Minnesota and plans to have a manuscript completed by next September. Professor Leland R. Cooper, Hamline University, continues the processing of field specimens from the sites tested at Mille Lacs-Kathio State Park under the MORRC prehistoric archaeology program. His completed preliminary report on the work has been published and is noted in the preceeding bibliography (Cooper, 1965).
[Number 9, Page 6, 1966]
Orwell site analysis is currently being undertaken by Professor Robert Keyser, Moorhead State College. The preliminary report will be issued this spring.
1965 Summer Field Session
The University of Minnesota course in archaeological field techniques (Anthropology 140, 6 cr.) will be offered during the first summer session (June 13-July 15). Excavations in the Mille Lacs area will be conducted under the direction of Elden Johnson. MORRC sponsored field archaeology programs will include intensive excavations of sites in Mille Lacs-Kathio State Park. Crews under the direction of Professor Leland Cooper and Peter Bleed will work in this area. Survey work in state parks, on highway salvage, and along the Minnesota River valley will be conducted by University graduate students. Mapping and additional testing at the Silvernale site will be done in the early fall months.
Historic Site Archaeology
Timothy Fiske has been appointed to the position of archaeologist at the Minnesota Historical Society and is now engaged in compiling a roster of historic archaeological sites. Any readers who know of previously unreported sites of this nature are urged to contact Tim at the society offices in St. Paul.
The Minnesota Archaeologist
Now entering its twenty-eighth year of publication, The Minnesota Archaeologist, the quarterly journal of the Minnesota Archaeological Society, is ready to take on new responsibilities and to serve a wider circle of readers. It has recently found new and more efficient techniques for illustration and printing and has developed a new format. It has also formed an editorial review board, composed of three professional anthropologists and three amateurs, to encourage and advise new authors and to ensure the highest possible standards. The subscription cost, which has not increased in recent years and which will not be allowed to increase in the foreseeable future, is #3 for four issues, and this includes membership in the Society. Local members also receive advance notices of meetings. The Minnesota Archaeological Society is a non-profit organization and publishes The Minnesota Archaeologist without subsidy and without institutional support. We shall be happy to enter your order for a year's subscription, which will bein with the first issue for 1966. Of the issues most recently published, Volume XXVII Number Three was devoted entirely to the Kensington Rune Stone, and Number Four featured an article on "The Suppression and Survival of the Northern Cheyenne Sun Dance". Back issues are on sale at $1 each, and a list of those still in print is available to members on request.
