Archeologists Probe Ancient Worlds This Summer
University of Kansas archeologists are used to thinking in terms of centuries in their search for clues to the ways of life of ancient civilizations.
But days and weeks are their chief concern this summer.
Three teams of University archeologists are in the field—and each is battling to uncover skeletal remains and cultural artifacts of early Indian civilizations before they're lost forever under the water of reservoirs and rivers. The work is supported by National Science Foundation, National Park Service, and University grants.
Ft. Riley Force Is In Viet Nam
SAIGON —(UPI)— Soldiers just arrived from Ft. Riley, Kan., swarmed ashore at Cam Ranh Bay yesterday.
The first men of a contingent of nearly 4,000 debarked from the transport ship USS Gordon at a crude dock constructed last month by U.S. Army Engineers. They established a bivouac area near the beach.
U. S. jets streaked overhead on the alert for any Communist harassment as the troops began landing under bright skies at 9:40 a.m.
The soldiers, along with artillery units, will guard an ammunition and fuel storage depot being built at Cam Ranh by the Army Engineers. Cam Ranh, 185 miles northeast of Saigon, also will be the axis of an improved railway system over which war supplies will be shipped to the front in the central Highlands of Viet Nam.
PERRY RESERVOIR is the site of what Carlyle S. Smith, curator of the archeological section of the University's Museum of Natural History, terms a "crash salvage program." Smith heads a crew of 12 students digging in areas which soon will be destroyed by reservoir construction.
So far, rains have slowed work, but Smith hopes to "sample several sites before we're through." Pottery, arrow heads and various cutting tools, and bones from animals hunted by Indians are among the archeologists' first prizes.
RICHARD McWILLIAMS, graduate student from Oklahoma City, is in charge of the team excavating a site at Kirwin also threatened by water. An Indian village between 1,000 and 2,000 years old was located there, but this is the first time the site has been explored.
Because many potentially productive sites are doomed at Perry, the Smith team has professional company this summer. KU archeologists now working at Kirwin Reservoir in western Kansas will set their stakes at Perry in about two weeks, and the Kansas State Historical Society also is excavating there now.
The Kirwin work is under the general supervision of William Bass, associate professor of anthropology, who is personally engaged in a project in northern South Dakota. He, too, is working on a "crash basis" at two sites.
Bass and students went to South Dakota to dig in an Indian burial area at a reservoir construction site. Then last week they learned of a burial site along the Missouri River which had been exposed by erosion.
"Since exposed sites are popular among souvenir hunters, immediate action was necessary to save the remains for scientific purposes," explained William Argersinger, associate dean of faculties for research.

IN A MATTER of hours, Bass had an "emergency" $1,000 grant from the National Park Service to hire three extra men and had begun digging to save the site for science.
His findings and those of the others will be brought back to the University to help piece together a growing picture of the early American Indian and his ways of life.
Some of the artifacts will be displayed in the Museum of Natural History next year. Others will find their way into other museum and teaching collections.
