In the paper “ Archeological Notes on Texas Canyon, Arizona ” (Vol. XII, No. 1 of this series) which covered the work accomplished at the Double F Ranch in 1933, it was intimated, if the findings warranted, that a further report would ensue for the season of 1934. In the publication above mentioned there was expressed the thought, though from very meagre evidence, that the culture here might be Hohokam with a few trade pieces intermingled. The work this season has strengthened the conclusion...

The area covered in this paper is, generally speaking, the drainage of the upper Texas Canyon, near Dragoon, Cochise County, Arizona. But more specifically, the development in the season of 1933 was confined to a flat field on the ranch of the writer. The elevation at this point is about 4,800 feet, and the climate is typically that of the Southwest at a like elevation. In the winter months it is warm in the daytime, cold at night, with an occasional snow flurry, and very little rain. The summer...

The 1957 summer field season began the twelfth year of continuous operation of the Missouri Basin Project and of the Inter-Agency Archeological and Paleontological Salvage Program. The first eleven years have been outstandingly productive despite several setbacks. The twelfth year began with an even more encouraging prospect than many of the previous years. The areas within the Missouri Basin that have been or soon will be lost forever to scientific archeological investigation due to dam...

This is a brief summary of field work and a preliminary statement of results for the seventeenth consecutive summer field season of the Missouri Basin Project. In the past this progress report has elicited many constructive comments. We hope that it will continue to do so - but there is also an additional purpose. As the result of a number of circumstances, excavation has far out-shipped the publication of results. Of course, such a lag is often inevitable, however as a stop-gap, this summary is...
