EDITOR'S PREFACE

On March 3, 1976, Dr. Amelia Susman Schultz wrote asking
if I would look at her manuscript on Round Valley which is

published below almost exactly as originally written nearly

40 years ago, and which bears her new Preface and Addenda. I

liked her paper very much; we agreed to publish it; and here it
is.

The Archaeological Research Facility is pleased to publish
Dr. Schultz' paper for several reasons: 1) it helps to right a

wrong, or perhaps better, a mistake; 2) it is an excellent piece
of work, and; 3) it adds substantially to the literature on
acculturation studies which are in short supply for Native
Californian societies.

Readers interested in Dr. Schultz' paper may also wish to
read four others which deal with Pomo acculturation:

1 Elizabeth Colson# Autobiographies of Three Pomo Women

(University of California Archaeological Research
Facility, Berkeley, 1974).

2. Dorothea J. Theodoratus, Cultural and Social Change

Among the Central Coast Pomo. Journal of California
AnthroDolows 1*206-219, 1974.

3. B.W. Aginsky, The Interaction of Ethnic Groups: a Case

Study of Indians and Whites. American Socioloiical
Review 14s288-293, 1949.

4. Bo and E. Aginsky, Deep Valley. Stein and Day, New

York, 1967.

What is of special interest, I think, is the series of

excellent photographs taken 40 years ago of Native Californians

in and around Round Valley. The persons pre correctly identified
in the photographs and cannot be directly connected with in-

dividuals referred to in the text where assumed names are used
to make such identifications possible.
