[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] Bert Salwen of Metropolitan Chapter, who is now teaching at Bennington College, made the July issue of American Antiquity with his "Sea Levels and Archaeology in the Long Island Sound Area." The abstract in A. A. says "Two coastal sites on Long Island, the Stony Brook site and the Baxter site, are examined in the light of Fairbridge's data on sea level fluctuations during the last 7000 years." (Readers of THE BULLETIN are familiar with Fairbridge's date from our last issue, July, 1962). Mr. Salwen delivered essentially the same paper at the Eastern States Archaeological Federation Conference at Athens, Georgia, in November, under the title "Midden Analysis: Examples from the Northeast Coast." L. A. Brennan's paper "Choppers--the Paleolithic Strain" was read at the ESAF Conference. Charles F. Hayes III of Morgan Chapter, Secretary of NYSAA and Associate Curator of Anthropology at The Rochester Museum of Arts and Sciences, has been publishing regularly in the Museum's "Museum Service" bulletin. The titles we have seen so far are: "Another Prehistoric Iroquois Site in the Bristol Hills, New York"; "Salvage Operations at the Shakeshaft Gravel Pit"; "Iroquois False-Faces on Exhibit"; "Archaeological Collections Rearranged to Facilitate Research"; "Fifty Years of Anthropology", and "1962 Archaeological Field Work.. " Mr. Hayes' successor as junior anthropologist at Rochester Museum, appointed in July of this year, is Miss Rachel Bonney.
