A method for the determination of selenium in biological
materials by gas-liquid chromatography has been developed and
successfully applied to kidney, heart, liver, and muscle tissue. The
initial digestion of animal tissue was accomplished in a mixture of
nitric and perchloric acids (3:1) until "water whiteness'' of solution
was achieved....
Townsend's mole, Scapanus townsendii (Bachman), was
studied by live trapping, dead trapping, and observation
from July 1961, to July 1963, in Tillamook County,
Oregon. This study was initiated at the request of Tillamook County farmers to determine biological facts that

This thesis will explore the architectural material culture excavated at the Robert Newell Homestead (35MA41), currently located in Champoeg, Oregon. Specifically, the research focuses on the vernacular architecture or the features and construction methods used that both reflect the environment and the cultural traditions of the dwellings occupants. The Robert...
This paper discusses research concerning redware vessel sherds found in an archaeological excavation at Oregon's historic Champoeg State Park, and comparative artifacts from four known Oregon and Washington late nineteenth pottery production sites. Visual and Instrumental Nuclear Activation Analysis comparison studies were conducted on samples from each site. The New...
