scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series consists of seven trays of approximately 500 glass lantern slides that Stewart created between about 1942 and 1959. Images depict skeletal remains at archaeological sites and in laboratories; slides and charts on skeletal growth and comparisons; North and South American archaeological sites including Cinco Cerros, Peru, Alaska, Patawomeke, the Pickwick and Gunterville Basin, and the Townsend Site, Delaware; anthropometrical tools from the 18th century; and skeletal materials from the Witte Museum in Texas. The majority of slides are unlabeled, but photocopies of original slides boxes and enclosures are included in this subseries. There are about 400 unlabeled slides located throughout this subseries that are likely related to surrounding slides.
