PRELIMINARY NOTE ON THE LATE PLEISTOCENE GEOMORPHOLOGY AND ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE , OREGON Keith D. Gehr and Thomas M. Newman Department of Anthropology, Portland State University Portland, Oregon

The geology and water resources of the Harney Basin (Figure 1) in have been studied by Russell (1903, 1905), Waring (1909), Piper and others (1939), Walker and Swanson (1968), and others. The most detailed and definitive work is that of Piper and his team of investigators from the U.S. Geological Sur­ vey, who worked in the Basin from 1930 to 1932. They recognized a prominent abandoned beach ridge along at an eleva­ tion of 1,249.7 m (4,100 ft) and commented: "No higher shore features are known to exist in the central area of the Harney Basin, although most other desert basins in have prominent shore features at least laO ft higher than their playas" (Piper and others, 1939, p. 14). These writers left unresolved the question as to whether pluvial Lake Malheur had ever reached and overflowed the basalt dam, estimated to be 1,254 m (4,114 ft) high, across Mal heur Gap. On

Burn~ the basis of the native fish fauna in the Harney Malheur Lk. Basin, Hubbs and Miller Voltae Harney Lk. • (1948) concluded that cross section~ Refuge I there had been a direct Headquarte connection with the Co­ lumbia via the South 6 Frenchglen Fork of the Malheur n River and the . Probably because HARNEY COUNTY their primary concern was with other matters, all of the previous in­ vestigators apparently Figure 1. Map showing Zocation of Harney failed to notice two Lake. See cross section, page 168. clear wave-cut terraces,

165 Figure 2. Wave -aut terrace on northwest side of butte adjacent to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters. Elevation of terTace is 1, 255 m (4, 118 ft) . each at an elevation of about 1,255 m (4,118 ft), which corre­ sponds acceptably well with the elevation of the spillway across the Voltage lava flow, which blocked Malheur Gap. One terrace is on the northwest side of the low butte adjacent to the Malheur Na­ tional Wildlife Refuge headquarters (Figure 2); the other, located mainly in sec. 24, T. 27 S., R. 29-1/2 E., contains a deposit of fossil shoreline molluscs that, by augering, were found up to an elevation of 1,255.1 m (4,111.7 ft). Ninety-eight percent or more of this population is comprised of a snail tentatively identified as Lymnea utahensis. Minority species include another snail tenta­ tively identified as ParapapoZyx effusa. In 1975, two artifacts were found in the wall of a drainage ditch running roughly parallel to the terrace in sec. 34. The ditch is nearly 1,600 m (5,250 ft) long and averages 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 ft) in depth. The provenance of the artifacts was ques­ tionable, but for several reasons it seemed worthwhile to search for a possible early site. Later finds, both on and below pluvial lake gravels, have proved the presence of man in the Basin before the end of the pluvial period. Along with the artifacts, the gravels in the ditch wall have preserved an excellent record of three pluvial lake stillstands. Two of these have been dated, as has the terrace, from carbon-14 determinations on fossil snails. Because measurements on outer fractions of samples indicated significant contamination with younger carbon in even the younger samples, ages were determined from the inner fractions of samples. Figure 3 shows locations of the wave-cut terrace and various beach ridges at the southern part of Harney Lake. The oldest beach ridge (1), at 1,251.1 m (4,107.7 ft), has a preliminary date of about 32,000 B.P. (USGS-459). The mollusc population there is essentially reversed from that on the terrace, being 98 percent or greater ParapapoZyx effusa, with the Lymnaeids being a minority species. This ridge is covered with younger gravels culminating in a shoreline (2) at 1,252.1 m (4,107.9 ft), now dated at approx­ imately 9,600 B.P. (USGS-460). The lake bottom associated with this shoreline is covered with a prominent deposit of fossil Lymnaeid snails similar to those on the terrace. This line of tiny molluscs can be traced for almost 700 m (2,300 ft) in the side of the ditch. Two new species, tentatlve1y identified as Lymnea paZustris and HeZisoma anceps, are plentiful in the last 100 m (300 ft) before the beach ridge. Their presence suggests a marshy ecozone that may have been seasonally dry. A younger, undated shoreline (3) overlies the preceding one at an elevation of 1,253.4 m (4,112.2 ft). Artifacts have been found in almost unquestionable primary context both on the gravel surface of this deposit and immediately underlying it. The stratigraphically lower artifact appears to be a punch-struck obsidian blade, a tool little known in Oregon but fairly common in a surface site whi.ch overlies part of this beach ridge by about 1 m (3 ft) (Dumond, 1962). 167 -_-....-.:.. _-,- .... --_. ------1, - -~..:.-- --',:-- • - '.-­_- - --,._-.-

" The 47-page study discusses future demand, planning, mining . reclamation, and geol­ ogy of the rock material resources of Benton County . Included are 16 figures, 10 tables, and a geology and quarry site map for the County . By linking rock resources with a geologic map. the report becomes a usefu l predictive tool for planning purposes, enabling t he planner to address the complex issues surrounding the rock resources industry. This publication, which is available at Department offices. se 11 s for $4.00 . Purpose of This Study Benton County's population is expected to continue to exp and in the future as a result of increased light industrial development brought about by available manpower; availability of land and elec­ tric power; and fa vorable aesthetic, cultural, and climatic con­ ditions. While creating an increasing need for construction aggregate, this growth may simultaneously restrict the use of existing sources of aggregate by zoning, encroachment of incom­ patible development. and loss of rock material deposits when structures are built over them. With proper planning, however , a continued supply of these important rock material resources will be available in a manner most compatible with the environ - ment and long-range land use plans. The purpose of the study was to develop concise data on the rock material of Ben­ ton County in a form which could be submitted to poten­ tial users or developers of these resources and which could be used as a data base for land use ordi­ nances in compliance with ORS 215 . 055.

173 MOUNT HOOO GEOTHERMAL ORILLING PROGRAM CONTINUES The Old Maid Flat geothermal test hole was deepened from 564 m (1,850 ttl to 1,220 m (4,003 ttl during July and August 1978. The preliminary bottom hole temperature of about 175°F may be high enough to make Northwest Natural Gas Company's proposed heating project feasible if a large enough supply of ground water of that temperature can be found. Results of the Old Maid Flat drilling are still being evaluated to guide future explo­ ration. A second geothermal test hole was started near Timberline Lodge in August. Plans are to drill to a depth of 600 m (2.000 ft to see if rocks on the flanks of Mount Hood Volcano have been heated enough to produce hot water that can be used for heating the lodge. Present depth of the hole OLd Maid Fl.at an 'L 1. rig. is 270 m (870 ttl.

In OREGON 1977 MINERAL DATA SUMMARIZED "Minerals in the ," prepared under a cooperative agreement between the Bureau of Mines and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and published as SMP-21, may be obtained free upon request from the Publications Distribution Branch, Bureau of Mines, 4800 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, Penn­ sylvania 15213. The 14-page report contains tables summarizing Oregon's 1977 mineral production statistics; role in U.S. mineral supply; in­ come from mineral bonuses, royalties, and rentals; and land owner­ ship and mineral production. The report discusses the general mineral situation in Oregon, noting the construction of a new cement plant at Durkee, planned expansion of chlorine production in the Portland Rivergate district, and the reopening of small gold mines near Granite and Prairie City in eastern Oregon. The effects of regional energy problems and the implications of large withdrawals of land from mineral exploration and develop­ ment are also considered in this report. SMP-21 also contains a bibliography and 2-page map showing general locations of mineral deposits, geothermal wells, and mineral processing plants. * * * * * $IGN OF THE TIME$ Some 45 years ago a popular song advised, "Potatoes are cheaper; tomatoes are cheaper; now's the time to fall in love." Today's ditty, less lilting, has many variations. The DOGAMI version is, "Well, paper costs more now; and postage costs more now; ORE BIN prices must go up." Beginning January 1, 1979, we will charge $4.00 for annual subscriptions and $10.00 for 3-year subscriptions. Each year the Department has had to spend more for supplies and printing to produce the ORE BIN without sacrificing quality. And that's not all. Changes in second-class rates are not timed or patterned to correspond with the raises in first-class postage. Between May and August 1978 alone, the cost of mailing the ORE BIN rose 29.9 percent! Looking on the bright side, those who order before January 1 will enjoy the current rates. Use the coupons in the centerfold of this ORE BIN. Your order may be new, a renewal, or an exten­ sion of a current subscription, as long as DOGAMI has received it by January 1. Another bright thought: On the drawing boards right now are plans for renovating the ORE BIN format. Readers may look for­ ward to refreshing and welcome changes in '79. Be sure you and your friends will receive the hallmark January 1979 issue. 176 AVAILABLE 'U8LICATIOflS (P, .... include .-ttance vtth 0I"der. fIOItaP frrH. Mf"1 __n 0"'. $0.50.
