Abstract

Heizer suggests that the trinominal system of site designation be modified, making all published citation obsolete and necessitating a major conversion in permanent catalogs, site files, and other records throughout the country. No new information would be gained by such a conversion. A simpler alternative is proposed to take care of the minor discrepancy of alphabetical additions; this system would also keep the existing system intact.
