content: This series contains files related to paleoindian research projects. The majority of research files are arranged by researcher and area, and most of the fieldwork was conducted at sites in Brazil and Chile. The bulk of the material consists of correspondence between Meggers/Evans and researchers, project grants and applications, project accounts balances, photographs, manuscripts, and project reports. There is significant material of Robert McKelvy Bird's projects at the Gruto do Gentio II Site in Brazil and the Tilviche Site in Chile; Lautaro Nunez's research in Quereo, Chile; and Eurico Miller's fieldwork in Brazil at sites along the Rio Uruguay and the Galera Caves in Abrigo do Sol. Also included is material related to the PaleoindianTechnlogy Seminar held in Antofagasta, Chile, October 21-28, 1978. The Seminar was co-sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution and National Geographic Society (NGS).

This series retains Meggers's original order.
