Students st the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are
working on archeological sites along the Niobrara River
near the proposed site of the Norden Dam Project this
summer.
According to Carl Falk, a UNL anthropology
instructor, the information gathered by the students will
be useful to a contract study being done by the UNL
Division of Archeological Research in contract with the
Bureau of Reclamation.
The original contract with Bureau of Reclamation
was for the identification of important cultural and
archeological sites along the Niobrara River in the
Norden Project area. -
But because of UJS. District Court injunction
stopping further work on the Norden Project, field work
on the Division of Archeological research contract
project has stopped, Falk said.
There are 18 students participating in this summer's
Archeological Field School located in a 35 milsWg
strip of the Niobrara, part of which overlaps the study
area, for the Norden Dam Project study.
The field school site is fresh ground for archeologists,
Falk said. "Prior to 1976 there were only 25
archeological sites along a 100 mile stretch of the river."
The scientific value of the area is that it can help
archeologists evaluate the relationship between human

The study, Erskine said, will be done at the campus
level and probably involve the student affairs
administrators of each campus in the NU system, plus
one or two university business officials and student
representatives.
NU President Roskens said that he hopes the study
could begin by this fall arid be able to present
recommendations to the Board of Regents by February
1.
Right now, Roskens said, the problem is deciding,
with other university administrators, how such a study
would be undertaken.
"There was confusion regarding precisely what the
Board of Regents intended," Roskens said. "Several of.
them said they were favorably disposed to a study."
"My impression was that they requested a study to
lead to the reduction of student fees. The Regents did
not vote to eliminate student fees."
The Board of Regent's request leaves another such
study out in the cold. The Student Affairs Office,
according to Armstrong, had planned to set up a Student
Fees Task Force early next fall, probably in cooperation
with the Associated Students of the University of
Nebraska (ASUN).
The future of the Student Fees Task Force is now
uncertain, said Armstrong.
In its annual report submitted to the Student Affairs
Office last May, the FAB had recommended that this
task force study the possibility of funding only the Daily
Nebraskan, the Union Program Councils and ASUN with
student fees organizational funds.

So far there has been some evidence of Indin
big-game hunters in the area from as long tzo as 10,003
years.
"Usually field schools are taken to be training for the
students in the technical aspects of archeology," Falk
said. But the UNL field school also trains the students in
what archeology is and what its objectives are by havir.3
them participate in actual research, Falk said.
Student involvement in research is needed because,
Falk explained, "In the last few years we are recognizing
that archeological sites are an endangered resource."
Besides the benefits to research and the academic
training the students get at the field school, Falk said
students also get a marketable skill in excavation and
field work.
Two graduate assistants and a supervisor, Dr. Allen J.
Osborne from the University of New Mexico are also
working at the site.
