Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seventy-Ninth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, 1961-1962 At two places in the excavated area, objects found at a lower level indicated that Folsom Man had at least visited the area prior to the occupation by the makers of the Agate Basin type complex. One carbon-14 date obtained for the Agate Basin level indicates that the occupation was at about 9,350±400 years before the present, and charcoal from the Folsom level has given a date of 10,375±700 years before the present. This suggests that the basin was occupied at least at intervals over a period of about 1,000 years. After returning to Washington from Wyoming, Dr. Roberts went to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he represented the Smithsonian Institution and the United States at a conference on the origin and antiquity of man in the New World. He made three speeches at the conference and was elected one of the two vice presidents for the session. In September he went to Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado where he served as a member of the advisory group for the Wetherill Mesa Project. In November he participated in the 19th Plains Conference for Archeology at Lawton, Okla., and read a paper on the 1961 excavations at the Agate Basin Site. Later he went to Macon, Ga., as a member of an advisory group for a series of studies to be carried on at Ocmulgee National Monument. Early in June he visited the offices of the Missouri Basin Project of the River Basin Survey at Lincoln, Nebr., and assisted in sending out a number of field parties for work in Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. Dr. Henry B. Collins, anthropologist, continued his Eskimo studies and other Arctic activities. The Russian translation program - Anthropology of the North: Translations from Russian Sources - which he organized in 1960 continued its operation with the support of a second year´s grant from the National Science Foundation. The second volume of translations, Studies in Siberian Ethnogenesis, edited by Henry N. Michael, was published by the University of Toronto Press for the Arctic Institute of North America in April 1962. This 313-page volume contains 17 articles by Soviet ethnologists, anthropologists, historians, and linguists on the origin and relationships of the Yakut, Tungus, Buryat, Kirgiz, the Amur tribes, and Samoyed and other ethnic groups of Siberia. Work is proceeding on the translation and editing of additional volumes and papers on Siberian archeology, ethnology, and physical anthropology selected by the Arctic Institute´s advisory committee, of which Dr. Collins is chairman. Dr. Collins´ article on Eskimo art appeared in volume 5 of the Encyclopaedia of World Art. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
