scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: The Skeletal Remains subseries consists of photographs and negatives of skeletons and bones. Some photographs were taken at archaeological sites in the field, but most appear to have been taken in museums or laboratories. Many photographs are of skeletal remains that were not a part of Stewart's or the Smithsonian Institution's collections and were sent to Stewart from colleagues at other institutions for research and publication purposes. Although most of the photographs in this series were labeled in some sort of way by Stewart (either with a folder label, caption, or accompanying note), there are a significant number of unidentified skeletal remains and bone fragments in one folder.
