Retired from Arizona State Museum, Collections Division, Archaeological Repository. Research focus is primarily on Pre-contact period ornaments and associated areas of trade/exchange and cultural significance of the use of ornaments in American Southwest societies. I am also interested in wider use of these material through out the the world. I am also working on cultural uses of shell in general. Address: Tucson, Arizona, United States
Archaeological projects that are described as orphaned or legacy collections are generally older ... more Archaeological projects that are described as orphaned or legacy collections are generally older materials that do not meet modern “best practice” curation standards and require considerable resources to be preserved for future research. Rehabilitation and curation of these projects allows for better inventory control of the artifacts, and accompanying documentation ensures that cultural heritage is preserved and plays an important part in the repatriation process. Procedures and methods for rehousing archaeological legacy collections are outlined. Using the 1984–1987 Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS) volunteer excavations at Redtail Village (AZ AA:12:149 [ASM]) as a case study, we propose a process for rehabilitating legacy collections and offer solutions for preserving important archaeological resources for future research.
