content: This series, dated 1965 to 2013 and undated, reflects parts of Ortner's whole career. It includes his work at the University of Bradford, as Acting Director of the NMNH, at the site of Bab edh-Dhra in Jordan, as Vice-Chairman of the Bioarchaeology Panel of the Wellcome Trust, and for the Paleopathology Association. It also documents his daily activities in the Department of Anthropology. Of particular interest are materials for the publication project for the archaeological site of Tell Jemmeh with Gus Van Beek and David Ben-Shlomo, which Ortner worked on from 2008 up until his death. 

Most of the materials are sent and received correspondence or memos grouped by an individual or organizational correspondent. An individual's file may also hold correspondence that refers to them, such as an academic or job reccommendation from Ortner. Other materials include programs from conferences, scholarly articles, photographs, slides, CD-Roms, and floppy discs. 

Cross-referencing information from this series with other series may be required to understand it in context.

This series is arranged alphabetically. The series maintains Ortner's original arrangement with some changes for clarity.
