Permanent Collection Dr. ken eakins began collecting antiquities in 1973, as a professor of archaeology and Old Testament. His wife, Marian, an anthropologist and member of the Tell el-Hesi Expedition, was the first curator of the collection, which has been named in her honor. In addition to significant holdings in ancient coins, pottery, and glassware, the collection includes comparatively recent items such as Aztec ceramics. Objects from other collections, especially those of local residents, are regularly featured. These exhibits have included basketry, pottery, coins, ancient Coptic fabrics, and Native American artifacts.
