Collection Galleries

The collection galleries presented here consist of two styles. The first may be more accurately viewed as online exhibits since they are more comprehensive in the treatment of the project, collection, or major donor. Included galleries are the DB site, the Morley collection, the Floyd and Ada Jane Schultz collection, and the R.B. Aker collection.

The second gallery style is representative of our larger holdings from Mesoamerica, Central America, South America, and the US Southwest. Artifacts pictured here are accompanied with descriptive information on cultural affiliation, function, and age. Many are also part of current research projects.
