Archaeological and ethnographic materials are about equally represented. Located in 150 McGraw Hall, the Collections are teaching collections available for on campus instruction and learning opportunities for community organizations. Individuals or classes of up to 20 students can make appointments to visit the Collections to work with particular materials. Students can also do guided independent research using the Collections on a wide range of projects, from studying Hopi kachina dolls or Mississippian pottery. Even when not open, we offer an exhibit gallery in the first-floor hallway of McGraw Hall that showcases selections from the Collections. A larger exhibit space is located in the department seminar room, 215 McGraw, where classes and department colloquia are held. The curator of the Anthropology Collections is Frederic W. Gleach .
