He called his postings The News From Oregon and Washington. The reports were welcomed by the trade as poor communication systems back in the Coolidge era resulted in a great deal of business being done by poorly informed (at times actually misinformed) buyers and sellers.

Standardized Osteological Database
In 1990, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago received support from the National Science Foundation to convene a seminar/workshop to develop standards for collecting data from human skeletal remains scheduled to be repatriated. The delibe ration of the participants resulted in a set of recommendations published as Standards For Data Collection From Human Skeletal Remains Volume, Editors: Jane E. Buikstra and Douglas H. Ubelaker and Jonathan Haas. Realizing that collection and management of these osteological data from potentially large collections of skeletons requires computerization, The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies, with support from the National Science Foundation Grant DBS-9121 552, developed a database application called the Standardized Osteological Database or SOD from these recommended standards with the ultimate goal of stimulating a national osteological data archive and research resource.
