Archaeologists from KU uncover new Kansas, Missouri artifacts
Archaeologists from the University of Kansas are unearthing new discoveries about earlier residents of Kansas and Missouri.
Students in the summer Great Plains Archaeological Field School are working on fertile finds near Kansas City, which may date to before the birth of Christ.
The school is sponsored by the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and a private donor. In the past, Wichita State University and the National Science Foundation also have participated.
Although headquartered the past two years at White Cloud, the school moved to Park College in Parkville, Mo., to be near the two sites under study this summer. Headed by Dr. Alfred E. Johnson, associate professor of anthropology at KU, and Miss Patricia O'Brien, assistant professor of anthropology at K-State, the school has 14 students enrolled.
Housing is provided by Park College where students can spend any spare time using college facilities. However, during the day, they spend long hours under the sun at two ancient Indian village sites. The students take turns working both sites: the Hopewell Indian "dig," about 71 B.C., at Line Creek Park in Kansas City, Mo.; and a village of the Mississippiian culture, about A.D. 1200, at Farley, Mo.
The site at the Hopewell excavation is creating much interest in the Kansas City area as it is owned by the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department. Artifacts had been found in the area, once a farm, for

The Park Board was persuaded to buy the site to preserve it for further study. Since then, the 25-acre plot has yielded many storage or refuse pits, a 5-foot fire hearth, and a wide array of pottery bits, tool fragments and animal bone.
many years before an amateur archaeologist from North Kansas City discovered its true worth. At the time, the area was to become part of a sewage plant.
So much interest has been generated by the archaeologists digging in the park that an open house was held last Sunday, sponsored by the Kansas City Museum of History and Natural Science and the City Park Board.

The students work for only eight weeks, but during this time they devote seven days a week to the work for which they earn eight hours of credit. They are selected on the basis of academic grades, previous course work, and interest in anthropology as a career.
Out-of-state students are often granted scholarships to cover tuition, the highest cost of the school. This year they are from Ohio, Nebraska, California, Missouri, Boston and Chicago.
KU graduate students assisting with the "dig" are: Paul Katz, Chestnut Hill, Mass.; Susanna Katz, Spring Valley, N.Y., and Peter Cooper, Durham, N.C.
