Money for Study
Of Reservoir Area
Portland General Electric has
given $500 to the University for
archaelogical survey of the Tim
othy Meadows reservoir area, at
the headwaters of the Clackamas
River.
The company is building the
Timothy Meadows Dam in this
area, and the University’s sur
vey will determine whether or
not there is material of archaeo
logical value there.
Two doctorate candidates in the
anthropology department, Wil
bur Davis and Daniel Scheans,
are making the initial survey.
A conference between Luther
Cressman, anthropology depart
ment head, and Waldemar Seton.
PGE vice-president, brought out
original plans for the gift. The
conference was held because the
land the reservoir is located on is
property of the United States

that the anthropology depart
ment be notified and be given the
opportunity of surveying for ma
terial of archaeological value.
