1 I wtsm RICHARD SHUTLER, JR , Consultant and Research Associate, is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Arizona, where he was later in charge of the Radiocarbon Laboratory. Dr. Shutler is Curator of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Nevada State Museum, and archaeological collaborator with the National Park Service. His research specialization is in archaeology, climatology, and arid lands. V * The Nevada State Museum and the Desert Research Institute are working together to develop a research program in archaeology and anthropology. The Institute has cooperated with the Museum in the systematic excavation of a number of archaeological sites in Nevada. In 1961 ten dry caves and rock shelters were discovered on Falcon Hill near Winnemucca Lake, Nevada. The excavations, directed by Dr. Richard Shutler, revealed this to be an archaeological find of first importance. It received national attention. Evidence provided by the recovered material is useful for studies in several fields besides archaeology. % » I
