    f George Kritzman B.A. Anthropology, University of Southern California 1959 + Graduate Studies ”Tule Memories" I only spent about 10 days on the Tule Springs Dig. Mainly walking the long trenches with Irv Taylor extracting possible samples. Also worked with Margaret and Fitzwater surface collecting. Since then I have worked in Death Valley national Park, Yosemite, Joshua Tree National Park. Surveyed the entire island of San Miguel, recording 542 sites, plus worked on San Nicolas and San Barbara Islands, Lehman Caves, Colorado River survey, 18 miles north of Yuma to Mexico border, Warm Springs NV, Atomic Test Survey and about 30 more sites. Retired from the City of Los Angeles in 1978. Have been employed as Curator of Archaeology at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles since 1981 to present. Margaret Lyneis, Professor Emeritus UNLV Las Vegas, NV After the Tule Springs project, I returned to UCLA and completed my Ph.D. with a dissertation dealing with the northern Great Basin. Subsequently I taught at California State University, Long Beach, the State University of New York at Binghamton, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Along the way, I did archaeology in coastal California, interior New York State, and in Southern Nevada. After coming to UNLV, I have focused on the Pueblo occupation of the Muddy River Valley, the area popularly known as Lost City. Richard Shutler laid the groundwork for subsequent understanding of this area in his 1961 monograph from the Nevada State Museum, "Lost City: Pueblo Grande de Nevada." Robert Orlins Worked as Field Assistant on the project, primarily with Richard Brooks, but also with Walt Stein. During the early stages of the project worked on the survey with Dee Simpson and Margaret (Susia) Lyneis. On weekends and spare time, Pete (Williams) Bluecloud and Orlins ran the work at the Com Creek Dunes Site, taking advice from Shutler and Haynes. In 1964-654 he worked on the UNESCO - coordinated Aswan High Dam Project and has also worked in Moorea, Raiatea, Hawaii, and Baja California. Orlins did a great deal of work in the California North Coast Range and at shell mounds along the San Francisco Bay shoreline as principal of California Archaeol. Consultants. Most of his career was as State Archaeologist with California State Parks. He is currently a Retired Annuitant Environmental Planner (Archaeologist) with California State Department of Water Resources, where he has established the Archaeological U nit Married to wife Melba for 45 years, they have a daughter Rachel. Orlins resides in Woodland, California, a large town near Sacramento. Walter T. Stein Field Supervisor on the Tule Springs project.
