Archaeologists can look forward to piecing together in detail in the future the million or so years of human prehistory following man's evolution from the ape, Donald Scott, director of the Peabody Museum, said yesterday in his annual report.

"For the million or so years, more or less, of man's prehistory from the time of his apelike ancestors, we can now confidently count on discovering his points of origin, the evolution of his physical self, the upgrowth of his cultures, the relative importance of independent invention or of diffusion, and the direction and extent of his movements over the globe." he said.

The Harvard Museum has sent expeditions in the past year to Burma and Java, Australia, Solomon Islands, Greece, Peru, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, and preparations have been completed for an expedition to the Nei East, Mr. Scott reported.
