Pre-Historic Man's Occupation of Area Revealed in River Eugene A 10,000-year-old calendar of pre-historic man's continuous occupation of the Oregon country has been reveal ed in wind and water laid de posits along the Columbia river. The calendar, some 2,000 years older than previously esti mated, has been established through results from carbon 14 testings of charcoal, fossils and artifacts taken from a dig at Five-Mile rapids east of The Dalles. Archaeological excavat ions, from which were taken the ma terials used in the testings, were made in 1955 by Dr. Luther S. Cressman, head of the Univer sity of Oregon's anthropology de partment. Dr. Cressman had made earlier examination of higher parts of the site below the cliffs, but the part showing the earliest level of human habi tation was uncovered beside the abandoned U. S. Highway 30 near the river's edge. The lower part of this site is now covered by water backed up by The Dalles dam.

Radioactive carbon, by which science determines age, exists in all living organisms but begins to disintegrate on the speciman's death. The speciman's age is determiped by the extent of disintegration. The materials from the lowest i level, dated at 9,785 years, in cluded t tone tools, and such fauna as elk, carnivore, rodents, fish, and several varieties of mollusks. The complete dig represents the longest record of occupation by prehistoric man in Oregon, and one of the longest records of continuous occupation in North America. MODERN SOAPINO Wolcott, N.
