Bee Donates Artifacts To BYU Museum Provo native James Wi Bee has donated his valuable collection of Utah Valley archaeological artifacts--some thought to be 1,200 years old-to old-to Brigham Young University's Museum of Peoples and Cultures. Bee collected the material during the 1930s while earning a master's degree in zoology at BYU. He recently recent-ly retired from the zoology department depart-ment at the University of Kansas and moved to the Northwest, where he continues to pursue his research interests in-terests in zoology. The collection consists of about 15 boxes of pot shards, flint and obsidian tools, arrow heads, spear heads, animal bones and other items such as pipes, said Joel C. Janetski, associate director of the museum. The artifacts are from various prehistoric occupations occupa-tions of the valley, including both the late prehistoric and Fremont periods, with some items dating to as early asi 800 A.D, f:--.j Janetski said the museum is especially pleased to obtain the Bee collection because it is so well documented. Artifacts obtained by amateurs frequently are offered to the museum but usually cannot be accepted ac-cepted because they are not properly proper-ly documented, he said. "We are very pleased to accept Professor Bee's collection, which is accompanied by excellent notes, drawings of excavations, maps and photographs enabling us to tie artifacts ar-tifacts to a specific location in a specific site," said Janetski. "In addition, ad-dition, the collection is from Utah Valley, which is an area of primary research interest to the Department of Anthropology at BYU." Donald Forsyth, recently named chairman of the anthropology depart-. ment, has had the Bee collection on loan since 1984 in order to study it. He said the collection is one of the best he has seen from this area in terms of quality of material and information. Most of the artifacts were coIt , lected from the surface at ar-chaeological ar-chaeological sites, Forsyth said, at a time when the valley was much less populated and developed anithusar- ' chaeological sites were relatively intact. Anita Berlin, daughter Erin, center, and Pamela Collings, take an afternoon to view Science Fair projects and Cascade Elementary School. Families Join Kids In Science Fair Projects Creating a Science Fair better than the last is a challenge for all schools. Cascade Elementary School came up with a new idea this year, family projects for grades kindergarten kinder-garten through fourth grades. Fifth and sixth graders participated as usual with individual projects. "It was a great success," says Principal Nichols. Thirty families took part in demonstrations, brought collections or showed some scientific principle. Moms and dads also helped as guides throughout the day. During the evening about 500 people attended the fair during the two-hour showing. High school students volunteered to help with judging. Although there was no judging for the family projects, pro-jects, fifth and sixth graders were judged 1st, 2nd or 3rd based on specific criteria. Criteria included creativity (does Orem Merit Scholar Wins BYU Scholarship Gary L.
