The two of us were able to establish on the spot the problems of
survey, to locate and examine several sites later revisited, and to
work out details for our expedition's logistic needs. To J. C.
Harrington, Regional Chief of History and Archaeology, Southeast
Region, National Park Service, our gratitude for continued ad-
ministrative assistance, guide statements concerning needs for
future interpretation in the Virgin Islands National Park, and for
visiting with us in the field during the course of the survey. To
John G. Lewis, Superintendent, Virgin Islands National Park, we
owe a debt of gratitude for making our stay in the Islands success-
ful. John Lewis met our every need with complete co-operation.
My outline of field operations, work crew assignments, transporta-
tion needs-often difficult unto themselves-were met and solved
through his assistance. The entire staff of the National Park
Service in St. John and St. Thomas responded to our major and
minor needs. Special appreciation goes to Vincent Mrazek, Chief
Park Ranger, who assisted me in the pre-survey of 1959 as well
as offering every aid during the 1960 field work. David Karraker,
Park Naturalist, was assigned to assist on detailed survey problems
and was invaluable in offering suggestions and aid in the actual
reconnaissance. Had it not been for the skillful boatsmanship of
Austin lionaiitc, Park Ranger, my plans for survey into the valleys
of the south coast would have been-by necessity-overland and
rugged. From him I learned much concerning the seas around
this island, the rock and reef conditions, and seasonal aspects of
the sea. Over on St. Thomas, Arthur Hehr, Management Assist-
ant in the Superintendent's office, was most co-operative and gave
our program much assistance.
 Lastly, but certainly not least, I wish to recognize my two col-
leagues who accepted our invitation to join in the work of the
survey. Ripley P. Bullen, Curator of Social Science, Florida State
M\lu.-uni, Gainesville, Florida, served as Associate Director in the
program. He accepted as his prime field activity testing at Turtle
Point, Francis Bay, and Coral Bay. He relocated the Cruz Bay
site in the school grIoulnd of that community, reconfirmed our
1959 evidence of early occupation on the grounds of what is now
the Caneel Bay resort, joined in the reconnaissance of such site
areas as Fish Bay, Ditlef Point, etc. His major contribution, how-
ever, is his report dealing with the "Ceramic Periods of St. Thomas
