The Museum of Anthropology maintains an accession database of its collections. An accession database is one which records acquisition transactions. An accession may represent one object or many thousands of objects acquired from a single donor or from a single archaeological project at a specific time. Since most queries concern a donor, archaeological site or place of origin for a collection the search criteria have been narrowed to a few fields. Please specify search criteria as narrow as possible.
Searches initially return a minimal set of fields with only the first instance of repeating fields.
Please note that this is not an object database. A pan museum object database for the millions of specimens in the collection would be useful but beyond present resources. Some of the divisions within the museum are working on selected artifact inventories. These will be made available for search as they are completed.
