Two Possible Source Areas For The Quartzite Artifacts Of The Hudson-Meng Site -- A Comparative Study, Frank Witzel, John Hartley

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

Quartzites from quarries at Flint Hill, South Dakota and Spanish Diggings, Wyoming were examined using a binocular and petrographic microscope. A textural difference was discovered between material from the two quarries. Artifacts and debitage from the Hudson-Meng site (25 S x 115) was then examined and compared with quarry material. Tentative quarry affinities have been assigned to a portion of the Hudson-Meng collection.

New Records Of Native And Introduced Plants From Nebraska, Steven P. Churchill, Robert B. Kaul, David M. Sutherland

Recent field work in Nebraska by staff of the University of Nebraska Herbarium has produced a number of records of previously uncollected specimens and has confirmed the presence of species collected only a few times long ago. Some of the records are of American species which are indigenous to Nebraska or which have recently spread to the state, while other records are of foreign species which are thoroughly established in the wild. Some of these are potentially serious weeds, though none have reached that stage yet.

All specimens cited are deposited in the University Herbarium in Nebraska Hall, Lincoln, except …
