Description
During the summer of 1961 and 1962 the University of Oregon Dept. of Anthropology conducted archaeological excavations in the area to be innundated with the completion of Round Butte Dam, on the Deschutes River in Jefferson County, Oregon. The Dam was being constructed by the Portland General Electric Company of Portland, Oregon, which provided funds for the archaeological excavations. In connection with the Round Butte Project, Ernest J. Roscoe with the Raymond Foundation of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, agreed to analyze the shells recovered during the excavations and write the results of his analysis for an appendix to a final report. Mr. Roscoe’s detailed analysis was felt to have pertinence other than for the Round Butte Project so it is being presented as a separate publication.
