Abstract: This bibliography covers the period 1965-1974, with some entries of earlier dates which either have been recently noticed or are included due to the broader scope of subject matter than was followed in the prior report (AP 10: 99-114, 1967). This list was originally intended and assembled as a continuation of that report, which in turn served as an addition to a master's thesis. While subscribing to the thought that only papers which present views of Microne- sian societies of earlier time-levels should be included, I have broadened the scope here to include linguistics, physical anthropology, history, folklore and ethnoscience, and other fields beyond the strictly archaeological. Perhaps the only course not fully pursued has been that dealing with current political problems affecting the international status of Micronesia.
The reasons for this greater inclusiveness are two: there have not been over half a dozen archaeological investigations in the last ten years (Palau, Rota, Guam, Nukuoro, Ocean come to mind most readily), and (more importantly), I feel that a broader introduction to the work of other sciences can only benefit the archaeo- logist's attempts to more adequately describe the area's prehistory. The sheer bulk of items amassed from these other fields in the last ten years has precluded the use of critical comment in this, the last Micronesian review for AP. The review, in a different format, will be prepared by Janet M. Davidson for the Far Eastern Prehistory Association Newsletter (Australian National University, Canberra). Prepublication copies of this bibliography have been placed in the Micronesian Area Research Center, the Bernice P. Bishop Museum Library, and the Pacific Collection, University of Hawaii.
