In announcing the acquisition, Director Royden C. Braithwaite said the land has been purchased from the Chester Robinson family of Paragonah. For the past three summers students stu-dents in the Department of Archeology Arch-eology at the University of Southern South-ern California under the direction direc-tion of Dr. Clements Meighan have been actively excavating the area. The digging has turned up a number of Indian artifacts including arrowheads, pottery, fabrics fa-brics and one skeleton.

During the excavation the USC students have made their headquarters head-quarters ' t the College of Southern South-ern Utah. The land purchase by the College was part of the ar. rangemcnts that will see the work of digging going on for the next seven to ten years.
