[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] association publication committee, or to the Editor, Louis Brennan, 39 Hamilton Avenue, Ossining, N. Y. No. 26 November 1962 3 American archaeology has to be re-thought out, and that modest tool, the chopper, is about to loom larger and larger in the new era. Don Dragoo reports, verbally, a complex from southwestern Pennsylvania of large, crude stone tools without projectile points, that can't be placed in time archaeologically, which disposes him to believe in an American Paleolithic in the east. Though Tule Springs is a large area of the sites of many camp fires, the artifact yield has been very sparse because there is an overburden of 20 ft, of very tough clay that can be moved only by a bulld ozer. The mathematical chance of anything but a major expedition uncovering the evidence that is undoubtedly there is not high. Anybody know an archaeologically minded millionaire? ________ E FOR EFFORT This issue includes an encouraging number or orig inal contributions in archaeology from NYSAA members. Other NYSAA members have also been busy elsewhere. For example : Michael Cohn of Metropolitan Chapter last summer issued his "Fortifications of New York During the Revolutionary War 1776-1782" which will undoubtedly become an indispensable reference for historians and historical novelists--if they can get a copy. Mr. Cohn and his wife and friend Murray Scharfstein did the 40-page mimeograph job themselves.
