content: This subseries was previously Photo Lot 86-4: Thomas Dale Stewart Photographs of Townsend Site, Delaware, circa 1948-1949. Stewart provided general supervision and advice for the Townsend Site excavations (1948-1949) which were conducted by the Sussex Society of Archaeology and History (Delaware). The subseries contains 133 silver gelatin prints and one black and white slide, which depict burials and pits uncovered at the Townsend Site excavation. The photographs were probably made by Stewart, but possibly were made by Henri Geiger Omwake, one of the local archaeologists heading the project. Some images are of subjects that may be culturally sensitive, such as human remains.
