Notes: Booklet as much as a pamphlet.  Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections Volume 103, Number 4.  “Heavy erosion of the gully banks in recent years exposed deposits of alluvium and sporadic concentrations of animal bones including mammoth, bison, and deer as well as other smaller mammals, mainly of the Rodentia.  Stone implements recurring near some of those outcroppings indicated that aboriginal hunters had been active in the area and suggested that both former camping places and associations between man made objects and extinct species of animals could be found there.” (Page 2).  From the libraries of the late archaeologists Paul Reiter (his signature) and Linda Cordell.
