content: The notes in this file are probably related to the following films held in the Human Studies Film Archives:

HSFA film number 2000.9.1, The Bones of Bab Edh-Dhra, ca. 1970s

HSFA film number 2000.9.3, Bab edh-Dhra Film Project, 1970-1980

HSFA film number 2014.3, City of the Dead, 1978

City of the Dead appears to have been used in NMNH's Hall of Western Civilization, for which Ortner recreated two tombs from Bab edh-Dhra, and it is an edited version of The Bones of Bab edh-Dhra. The films' photographer was Kjell B. Sandved.
